Quotes "You need to be very certain about your value proposition.

In this episode of Non Executive Director Insider Insights, we chat with Rob Hale. Rob is a client of the Board Coaching Institute who has recently launched his board career. Building on his stellar career in technology, Rob recently landed a board role in the mutual banking space which nicely rounds out his portfolio as a Government and Industry Advisory Board member, and fintech executive. Whilst Tech challenges are high on board agendas, there are few executives who can successfully bridge the gap between having deep operational technical insights and being able to translate this into board level knowledge to form the basis for sound decision making. For Rob, the keys to board success staying true to his value proposition for helping people, being transparent, listening closely, and translating complex technical issues into actionable business strategies. In this episode of Insider Insights, we explore: The defining moment for Rob's Board Career The significance of getting clear with your values and purpose Struggles of identifying your Board Value Proposition The biggest challenges for NEDs Advantage of having both Executive and Non-Executive roles Rob's advice to anyone starting in the board role If you haven’t listened to our previous episode on The Benefits of a Purpose-Driven and Profitable Board with Sanchia Aranda AM, check out Episode 10. Quotes “I've learned so much about how a board operates that my understanding of what a board needs from an executive team is now elevated.” -Rob Hale “I am lucky that my boardroom is about a four hour drive away. That's a great opportunity to put some podcasts on. Slow down and think about what I'm about to go into, get my head in the zone, and start thinking like a board director.” -Rob Hale “You find yourself thinking really carefully before you say anything, don't say too much. Play a few words, but the high value contribution, that's what I'm trying to do.” - Rob Hale…
Managing an organisation requires strategies that can increase profitability without sacrificing purpose. Profit may be the same across organisations but the purpose varies. So how can the board encourage goal-driven values that don’t hamper profit in executives and non-executive positions? In this episode of Non Executive Director Insider Insights, we speak with Sanchia Aranda AM. Her professional career started out in nursing and has now extended to over 40 years of expertise in cancer control. At the time of this recording, Sanchia was a Board Chair for Scope Australia and Deputy Board Chair for the Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre Alliance. Sanchia firmly believes that profit is not the main driver for non-profit businesses; it’s the purpose or the mission. Although a financial legacy is often seen as a valuable component, having a corporate social responsibility is what sets an organisation apart from others. When profit and purpose are used in tandem, the board becomes better mobilised to achieve its goals. They contribute better to the organisation and make a difference. In this episode of Insider Insights, we explore: The challenges in clinical governance The importance of having a profit and purpose-focused board The difficulty of defining purpose for organisations How to better support diversity and capability in the boardroom The ability to leverage profits and to reinvest those skillfully in alignment with the voice of the beneficiary is the key to a well-run NFP health entity.

Quotes "You need to build an extreme level of trust between the board and the executives. To do this, you need to remove the culture of blame and encourage a culture of inquiry and understanding." -Sanchia Aranda AM "You can write the policy and procedures, put safeguards and training but that doesn't give boards assurance. So you need to bring in the things that go well and don't into the boardroom." -Sanchia Aranda AM…

Boardrooms have been ingrained with conventional perspectives that are often difficult to challenge. This might explain why people in board positions often find themselves in comfortable, yet critically complacent situations. How can you recognise and break away from these limitations and biases and move beyond the traditional boardroom boundary? In this episode of Non Executive Director Insider Insights, we’re joined by Anita Muller, who at the time of the recording was running her consultancy business Running Tall, and sitting on the board at Matthews Steer Accountancy and Advisory. Anna firmly believes that modern-day board roles need to take a leap forward to achieve effective board leadership by encouraging creative and dynamic thinking in the boardroom. Being too comfortable has historically been a defining factor for big businesses who have failed. Reigning supreme just sets you up in the headlights of fast-moving up-and-coming competition. Think Kodak. Think Blockbuster. Think Nokia. Tension is needed to inspire creativity and innovation in organisations, to protect businesses failing from a false sense of security. In order for the board to harness different ways of thinking, it must first acknowledging the value of creative input from others. This breeds diversity and inclusion which results in openness to new possibilities and better information on which to base decisions. In this episode of Insider Insights, we explore: The changes in modern board leadership Why complacency stifles growth How to encourage progressive thinking on the board The role of feedback in the boardroom A board director is responsible for creating value, and this often requires thinking outside the traditional box and encouraging others to be open to potential changes.
