There are literally thousands of individuals actively overseeing the operations, governance and strategies of every sort of company, commercial and government enterprise. But it is important that new Directors find a Board where they ‘fit’. Almost like a marriage, you have to be compatible.
It is vital for Directors to share the vision and culture of the organisation, as well as understand the business and the finances. The legal obligations of Directors are onerous and breaches of your duties can be harshly penalised.
Written as a friendly, honest, open conversation with a first-time director, Robyn Weatherley wanted to share her many years’ experience of working with Boards and Directors, so that new and aspiring directors could take on their roles and responsibilities – regardless of what type of company the Directorship appointment is with – small not-for-profit; equal representation; government enterprise; tech start-up; or ASX-listed company.
