I’m hosting the Corporate Director’s Forum podcasts. Here’s the latest episode of The Director’s Cut.
Better Directors + Better Boards = Better Companies
With demands from Wall Street to deliver quarterly numbers, it’s easy for companies to get hijacked into focusing mostly on the short-term. But, the long-term success of companies requires ideas, practices and resources that support people in management roles — the ones on the front-lines leading the company into the future. So, it’s important that organizations pay attention to the top talent – not just C-Suite and senior management.
