As a director on a board, knowing what good looks like can be easier said than done. But when conflict erupts at the board table or the waters are muddied and miscommunication occurs, it can impact decision making and have greater ramifications for an organisation and the wider community. 

In season four of Board Matters, a podcast sponsored by the Institute of Directors’ Advanced Directors Course, host Steven Moe, explores governance hot topics with leading directors including discussions ranging from the value of good communication skills to the importance of transparency, navigating relationships with management, identifying the red flags, leveraging investment opportunities, a return on capital, and much more. 

“You should be able to be open and honest and express your views…but with management there, you've got this issue of hierarchical power…” says Mike Sang, in episode four of Board Matters.
