Damien I O Brien, Chairman, Egon Zehnder answers:
Q: Are leaders failing more often?
A: Expectations from leaders are much greater today.
There is a wider range of stakeholders, the level of transparency and immediacy*
that leaders have to deal with today makes it more challenging.
Q: What are the traits of effective board members?
A: There are distinctive traits that good directors
have. Collaboration is important. Engagement around the board table is
important. Insight is very important. You have to make sense of massive data,
see patterns. Boards function best when you have low ego individuals who work
towards the benefit of the organisation. Boards need individuals who brace
diversity and are inclusive.
