Ep. 70 - Is being a board director lonely? (With Matt Fullbrook)

A weird cultural thing’s emerged through the history and formality of boardrooms, which has made it a space that makes directors lonely. Vulnerability is seen as a weakness because comradery is weak. Today, FDI’s Paul chats with Matt Fullbrook of Fullbrook Board Effectiveness - on how what boards and directors can do to click. Obnoxious wisdom awaits.

We discuss:

• Why boards breed loneliness, and whether this is just a human problem
• How boards can make people comfortable by switching up rigid ways of doing things
• What individual board directors can do to feel less lonely
• The power of being consciously obnoxious
