One Minute Governance

90. The thing about Carver...

The Carver Policy Governance (R) model is pretty divisive.  Here's my take...

89. What is a decision?

I've spent a lot of time leaning into my definition of governance as the way decisions are made in an organization.  Maybe we should finally spend some time talking about what a decision is...

88. Directors have no authority

As weird as it may sound, it's true!  Individual directors have no authority.

87. Help me bring new talent into the governance arena

We have a talent problem in governance.  Help me fix it!

86. What questions should you ask if you‘re new to this whole governance thing?

Here are my suggestions of questions that will actually help you to build better governance if you're new to the space.

85. Can regulations make corporate governance better?

I think most corporate governance regulations aren't actually about corporate governance at all.  If regulators want governance to improve, they need a different approach.

84. Is it time to re-think dual-class share structures?

There's a lot of drama in Canada right now around dual-class share structures.  Is it time for a change?

83. Executives can make or break board effectiveness

It surprises me that I've never talked about the impact that senior executives have on the effectiveness of their boards.  So here we go!

82. Governing the boundaries of corporate culture

This episode approaches corporate culture from a different angle than episode 81.  How can a board zero in on its definition of and role in corporate culture?

81. Can boards impact corporate culture?

It's hard enough to agree on what corporate culture means, let alone what the board's role should be in its oversight...

80. Misinformation in the Boardroom

Misinformation will corrupt any decision process.  How important is it to manage the risk of misinformation in the boardroom?

79. Do You Need a Governance Consultant?

Every board can improve, but should you hire a governance consultant to help?  What do governance consultants even do in the first place?  How do you know if you're getting good advice? 

78. Governance Education: Make sure your whole board benefits

Many boards spend lots of time and money on governance education, but don't do a great job at making sure the whole board benefits when a director attends a course or conference.  We can do better than that...

77. Do You Need Governance Education?

Governance education is everywhere.  Sometimes it's excellent, and sometimes it's awful.  A lot of the time is exorbitantly expensive.  Do *you* need it?

76. Mission Clarity Makes Good Governance Possible (feat. Jamahl K. Evans Sr.)

Jamahl Evans is back!  Many organizations miss the mark with their mission statements.  Without a clear and action-focused mission, how can you make effective decisions?
