Podcast: A Board That’s Fit for Purpose
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 shares his experiences of the succession process and some of the things he has learned from sitting on boards across the non-profit and commercial sectors.
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. This is a refreshing reflection of how self-awareness, good board management and respect for the incoming leader can help an organisation flourish and thrive.
