Positions For Pals Do Boards a Disservice

In the corporate and NGO sectors, boards are doing an enormous amount of good work to ensure that there’s diversity and a balance of skill sets among the people they select to direct the organisation. They do so because experience tells them that people are the lifeblood of any organisation and they will largely determine its success or failure. They know, too, that respected research suggests that diverse boards simply work better for the organisations they govern.
