So my goal is to get the right people in the room in front of the directors and then let the directors ask what they feel is right to ask.

I don't want to micromanage the agenda because that's my agenda.

I am never going to be smarter

than the sum of all the directors.

That's never going to happen mathematically.

Or you have the wrong directors, right?

Very much so, yeah.

And I like directors who are smart and who are engaged and really want to improve the company.

They want to play their role.

They take their fiduciary duty very carefully.

strong duty of loyalty.

Well, I hate the word committee, period.

Committee is just like a bureaucratic, red tape, slow, kind of low energy kind of word.

I just can't stand the word.

So I try not to call things committees, just nomenclature.

However, there are some times when a group of people will have to make a decision because it's more than one discipline that's required to get to the right decision.

There might be a task that we have

that has a financial element, so you need someone from finance accounting, that certainly has an operational element to it, you need an ops person there, but also may have a big people element, so I need an HR person there.

And so I could have, if it's a big decision with big impact,

then I'm going to have C-level, the COO, the CFO, the CHRO.
