Description

As boards look to achieve greater diversity around the board table, people
from a wide variety of backgrounds are encouraged to consider a 'portfolio'
work lifestyle, comprising of or including one or more board positions.
Despite this, becoming a non-executive director is an increasingly
challenging ambition and the perception of those seeking a seat at the
table is commonly that positions are extremely hard to secure without
already being 'in the club'. There are a range of reasons for this
perception and a number of things that the aspiring or early stage director
can do to increase their chance of success in securing that first or
subsequent board position. This book is designed to be a practical guide.
It seeks to help the boardroom aspirant understand the key drivers behind
director recruitment decisions that boards make, enabling them to ask the
right questions before and after joining a new board and preparing them to
the greatest extent possible for the governance, legal and business demands
of those occupying the boardroom. It will also help the reader to
understand and articulate their personal brand and to evaluate their board
opportunity landscape. By doing this they develop the best chance for doors
opening to board opportunities.
