Jeannette shares invaluable insights for those stepping into their first board position or aspiring to do so in the near future. Drawing from personal experiences as a former CEO and executive director, she discusses the importance of adopting a dual perspective—managing both individual responsibilities and the broader organisational strategy.

KEY TAKEAWAYS


As a board member, you must balance running your specific area of the business while also contributing to the overall strategy and growth of the organization. This requires a shift in perspective to a more holistic view.


Transitioning to an executive role involves engaging with a different set of stakeholders, including board members, external investors, and regulatory bodies. Understanding these relationships is crucial for effective networking and representation.


Directors have legal obligations and must ensure proper governance practices are in place. This includes managing risks and ensuring that all stakeholders are fairly represented.


Successful executive leadership involves balancing purpose, profit, people, and planet. This holistic approach is essential for aligning business strategies with sustainability and social responsibility, particularly in the context of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) initiatives.

BEST MOMENTS

"When you become a board member, it's really important to remember that you almost start to wear two hats."

"Governance becomes a much bigger piece, that robustness, that clarity, essentially ensuring that all those stakeholders are fairly represented."

"The four P's—purpose, profit, people, and planet—working in harmony is really what makes a great business."

"These big corporate roles are stressful. Executive burnout and stress come partly with the territory."



This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANT.
