We are ALL in the situation where we are learning to lead through a global pandemic and deep and sudden economic crisis. There is no playbook for us as board members to follow; however, there are likely better ways for us to lead through this current situation and for us, as board members, to continue to add value to our boards. To understand what the best boards and best board members are doing now, I reached out to Julie Garland-McLellan. Julie and I talk about: :: What the best boards are doing right now; what's on their agenda; and how they're spending their time. :: What boards can do to support the organisation in the short to medium term future. :: What's on their strategy agenda, and how boards can start looking forward to recovery/what's next and taking advantage of opportunities that are available. :: Clarifying the short-term changes to insolvent trading liabilities for directors. :: And other interesting observations that Julie has made as she supports boards through the COVID crisis. Resources Julie mentions during our conversation: :: Anti-Fragile by Nassim Nicholas Taleb: https://www.bookdepository.com/Antifragile-Nassim-Nicholas-Taleb/9780141038223?ref=grid-view&qid=1587363253180&sr=1-15 :: The Cost of Running Boards [yes, even volunteer boards]: https://www.mclellan.com.au/res/files/report-on-cost-of-running-boards.pdf Find the full show notes: https://getonboardaustralia.com.au/how-the-best-boards-are-leading-through-covid-19-with-julie-garland-mclellan-ep-22/
