A sense of entitlement belongs no where- but especially not in the board of directors space, where it has been a constant paradigm since class, privilege and business first arose in human society. My test? If you truly believe you are entitled to a board position simply because of who you perceive yourself to be, then I would say no. ( this is not to be confconfused with believing you can bring true value to the board and the organization from their perspective, not yours) I would also add, if you covet the board position, you shouldn’t be there- because your true independent judgment of what’s best for the organization, its staff, stakeholders and customers, will be clouded by your own self preservation. #governance #aicd #oversight #boardofdirectors #companydirector #entitlement #priveledge #responsibility Australian Institute of Company Directors Evan Dukas Anand Tatavarthi Lyn George

And the new employment rights bill too…….Will this, then, be the spur for businesses to invest in AI and robotics over humans?. And will it drive virtual working offshore?

They are moving away from an individual book-of-business model and, instead, cultivating revenue segment leaders to drive growth and increasingly, position the firm for acquisition. As you’ve heard me say before, most firms operate like a loose confederation of golfers, where personal score—their individual book of business—matters most. But in today’s complex practice environment, characterized by strong interest by private equity, advancing technology and an ongoing talent shortage, more structure—think football not golf—is what’s required to manage demand.
