Episode 24 - Zsolt Szelecki: Empowering Business for Better Goals

In this episode, we have invited Zsolt Szelecki. He is a Non-Executive Director and is passionate about building agile business structures, collaborative networks that enhance speed, innovation and accelerate growth.

[2:12] Assessing Business Situations

There is no one size fits all solution. Most companies are in a different stage of their lifestyle. And as companies have different lifestyles. Zsolt can see an evolution in the way boards are composed, developed, or aspirational, how they see themselves. In the last couple of years, more activist roles for the panels, particularly in helping to nurture the global growth or whether it's geographical growth, or industry, niche growth. They are using the board's collective brainpower to spark innovation within the company. Zsolt would like to highlight as a clear trend is that, within the context of changing what the companies are for.

[5:38] Achieving Business Goals

Most companies don't leverage the best way the collective skills and attitudes of the board. Little attention is paid to thinking about how the council could better function as a team. Zsolt believes that is a significant differentiator. You don't have to have necessarily all the big stars in your group to perform best as a sports team.

[9:00] Great Performance of Team

In most cases, if you're giving it an honest try with your current board members, you can turn out much more team performance. Zsolt's argument would be to give it a try and then be pragmatic, learn from your failures for real or from your successes, and it's still worth trying.

[10:49] People With Best Skills

Most sitting board members are keen on trying something new, whether they like it or not. That's another cup of tea. It's actually could be a win-win proposition. You never know that you might develop something new, push them gently out of their comfort zone, and never know they might build something, some new skills they like themselves.

[11:52] Principles of Board

Any senior team can benefit from a better, more cohesive collaboration within the board. The trick is to rethink what responsibility more responsibility means. Board members should have a shared responsibility, not just their own, and board diversity is essential. If you have all sorts of variety using your board, but they are not, there are no environment procedures.
