In his latest column for Inc. Magazine, Founding Contrarian Carey Smith laments the state of company boards, particularly those on which the CEO serves. “The goal of every board member should be to boost a company’s likelihood of success,” Carey writes. “That’s why it’s so important to have members who fully understand the company, and who have experience, particularly in areas where the CEO is lacking. And that’s why it’s equally important that the CEO not inhibit honest discussion by being on the board. Putting the company first means the CEO should butt out while the board has real discussions, but be all ears afterward, when the chair makes recommendations.” Click below to read the full column.

In today's climate of political volatility and evolving corporate responsibilities, the strategic governance provided by a board of directors is more crucial than ever. Many boards fall short in this area, preventing organizations from realizing their true potential or, in many cases, playing a detrimental role in a company's growth. Unfortunately, it’s all too common. The first thing leaders need to recognize is that their board should be playing a pivotal role in driving long-term, sustainable growth. This includes: ☑ Combining Codes of Conduct with Corporate Responsibility With rising political polarization and societal scrutiny, boards must uphold strong codes of conduct, reflecting a commitment to ethics and social responsibility. Our CEO Karen Hung has extensive board experience and advocates for a bold mandate that integrates these principles into board governance. The reality is, in today's environment, a board’s moral compass is more than a guideline—it's a mandate. Leadership demands an unwavering commitment to ethical conduct and social responsibility. ☑ Navigating Continued Volatility The ongoing political, social, and economic volatility, heightened by the upcoming 2024 election, demands that boards and senior leaders be more adaptable and collaborative. Today’s leaders must navigate a VUCA world—Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity—by embracing adaptability and co-creation. Collaborative decision-making is crucial for effective governance and long-term growth.
