From my colleague Simon Rumore FAICD of our Australian Partner firm, Peakstone Global, here are some great insights on non-executive director appointments. I’d even suggest a 6th ‘C’, Courage - - Courage, to ask the ‘dumb’ question, or the question that everyone knows should be asked but is too afraid to raise; - Courage, to make the tough decision, when we know it’s right, even though it may be (and may make us) unpopular; - Courage, to stand by our colleagues, even when we may have disagreed in the boardroom; and - Courage, to accept that sometimes we get it wrong, and not to hide from reality.
