Generative Governance: Making Sense of Problems through Critical Inquiry

Board meetings tend to remind me of sitcoms: a genre of comedy centered on characters who share a common environment, such as a home, workplace, or a boardroom, with laughable moments. There is usually a board member who lacks self-awareness (i.e. Kramer from Seinfeld), someone who has a very high level of self-orientation (i.e. Barney from How I Met Your Mother) or an individual who seems clueless most of the meeting but can surprise you with a flash of insight in the right moment (i.e. Phoebe from Friends or Woody from Cheers.)
