Great McKinsey & Company podcast with Christiana Smith Shi discussing what it takes to be an effective board member. Having served on non-profit boards and committees for several years, I could relate to many of the topics discussed—from navigating differing perspectives around the board table to building productive relationships with organizational leadership. Her comments on activist board members and effective board-management engagement were especially insightful. A worthwhile listen for anyone interested in leadership, governance, and creating value through strong board stewardship.
