Working with the board
“My job was to ensure the board had a good feel for internal CEO candidates and was comfortable with the process used to identify, assess and develop them.”

“I’d get one of my team to present their part of the bank’s strategic review to the board. That helped with their development and gave the board a chance to see them in action.”
