Governing Well in the “New Normal” Requires a Focus on Behaviours in the Boardroom

Contributed by: Tesse Akpeki

Wednesday, April 14, 2010 (3 years 31 days ago)

Due to the events of the global recession we are experiencing world-changing impacts. Life as we know it has turned upside down. The rules have changed. In the “new normal” we figure out what we have to do, get on with it and co-create our futures. At an organisational level we have to bury our old reality and raise ourselves to a different plane. For effectiveness we learn to walk in the newness of this reality. The saying ‘the old is behind us, the new is ahead’ comes to mind. One of the big ticket issues in this new reality is behavioural leadership which engenders best behaviour in the boardroom. A trendy term used is behavioural governance. Behavioural governance requires that we take insights from relationships and the human side of leadership and apply them to the rational, the logical, the analytical and the oversight aspects of governing. It requires increased insight in understanding behaviour and dealing with difficult issues.

CharityChannel's WE REVIEW

CharityChannel members who have been admitted to the WE REVIEW Contributors Panel are eligible to receive recently-published books from a variety of publishers (and some self-publishers) to review. Reviews are not limited to books published by CharityChannel Press, the publishing project of the CharityChannel professional community. If you are interested in reviewing books, you are welcome to apply. Note that, even though WE REVIEW has been publishing reviews for over a decade, it has recently been reorganized and re-launched. We took the opportunity to remove prior reviews, since our focus is on newly published books.
