Boards are an important component of many social impact organisations, but managing the relationship through succession can be a delicate balance of letting go and reassurance. In this episode we explore insights from Dan Viederman (an award-winning social entrepreneur and former CEO of Verité) as he discusses his succession out of Verité, board management, the importance of allowing the organisation to move on from his leadership and why he joined the board, but chose not to be the Chair, after he left.

Dr. François Bonnici, Adriana Craciun, and Tim Hanstad exploring the personal impacts of succession and reframing the narrative from the ‘end of the road’ to a collective journey supported by practical and emotional guidance.
