Giving Voice to Values in the Boardroom
Manage episode 289809767 series 2910096
Join BDO's Center for Corporate Governance Amy Rojik as she sits down with Cynthia Clark, Executive Director of the Harold S. Geneen Institute of Governance and independent board member, to discuss how the ability to voice values can change behavior and drive better decision-making in the boardroom.
Key Takeaways
- The majority of board members know what is right when faced with an ethical challenge in the boardroom – Board members need to give a voice to values
- The ability to identify what is at stake if those values are not exercised, what the rationalizations may be for not doing what is right and who might be your allies will help inform the path forward.
- Pre-scripting both your position and responses to various rationalizations/challenges and identifying the most important point to focus on in support of intended action can help strengthen director independence, competence and decision-making in the boardroom.
Additional Resources:
Cynthia’s newly released book Giving Voice to Values in the Boardroom is available.
