Please move aside CxO, and executives with P&L responsibility, and make room for some unique Board Director #superpowers. Today, I am reminded that the qualities of exemplary Board Directors include the ability to ask insightful questions and rigorously probe management. Not limiting, a source for diverse Board candidacy might be the #assetmanagement industry. Admittedly, a sector near to me, over the course of 17+ years, as a fiduciary, serving on the proxy committee and representing page one shareholders, I have conducted 700+ CxO interviews (800+ including investment bank tenure), bringing transparency and perspective to corporate decision-making, routinely troubleshooting financial and corporate strategy and risk, to strengthen #valuecreation or #shiftapproaches. What is your Board Director superpower? #seeingwhatothersdont #governance #curiosity #pressuretesting
