“Most companies have an NED induction process, but, if they don’t, sit down with the Company Secretary and work one out. Spend time in the business and find out what the customer experience is like. Observe and work out the board dynamics – a board is most effective if it is cohesive and works together. Spend time with the Chairman to understand the expectations and after sixmonths ask him or her how
you are doing!”

“All boards have difficult issues to deal with and have to be at the front and centre when it comes to the company’s reputation. If a board is doing its job well it should be seeking information at all levels in the organisation and be bold with auditors to find out what they really think.”

experience you have and how it is relevant, understand the company’s values and be passionate and excited about its mission and purpose.”

“The benefit an NED position brings to
the individual’s existing employer is much
underestimated. In my experience the best NEDs often come through people who know them, and the imprimatur of their CEO or Chairman is therefore very powerful.”

“Diversity, for me, is not a humanity question – it is actually good for business, and it is not only about gender, but about diversity of minds. My advice to any aspiring NED is to take it seriously – get on the radar of chairmen and nomination committees, use your contacts, have high but realistic ambitions and consider what you can bring to the table – and then just get going.”

Michael Treschow, Chairman, Unilever plc

“There is much that boards need to cover. Clearly strategy and its execution, and people and succession planning are key responsibilities. But it’s also the job of the board to understand and articulate what values are important in their company. Of course values alone don’t create value for
shareholders but, in my view, companies without enduring values simply don’t have a long-term future.”
