Episode 62: Scott Baldwin on building a collaborative boardroom culture

Future Directors Podcast

This episode features Scott Baldwin, certified board director, governance advisor and co-founder of DirectorPrep.com and The Savvy Director blog.

Scott is well-known as a board director who asks really good questions, so it was exciting getting him on the show and asking him some (hopefully) really good questions. As it turns out he turned the tables on Paul and started asking him great questions!

In this episode, we find out what initially got Scott into board governance and why he’s on a mission to create environments where collaboration and inclusivity are the norm. The chat also dived into:

• Why is it that too many CEOs dread board meetings?
• Who should drive an organisation’s board agenda?
• What’s the number one tool a board has that can effectively control their focus and priorities?
• Which type of board director can be highly valuable, but not often heard at the table?
• How can we create collaborative, inclusive boardroom cultures?
• What are some of the trends in the boardroom at the moment?
