Through extensive research, Matt discovered that there’s not much consensus in academic literature about the impact of governance on financial performance or leadership effectiveness. This prompted him to redefine governance for himself, moving beyond traditional frameworks to develop a more evidence-based and practical approach that he discusses with Munir.  Matt currently experiments wit...2025-02-2545 minOne Minute GovernanceOne Minute GovernanceANNOUNCEMENT: Sound-Up Governance is back on January 20thHead to http://www.groundupgovernance.com for more   TRANSCRIPT: Hi everyone, this is Matt Fullbrook and I'm back on the Ground-Up Governance platform after a long absence and I've got a new idea. If you're listening to this on a mainstream podcast platform and don't know what I'm talking about, head over to groundupgovernance.com and just start putting poking around. It's the only place you'll be able to check out this new idea, at least for the time being. So, long story short, I created Ground-Up Governance with the amazing Nate Schmold. He's...2025-01-0803 minOne Minute GovernanceOne Minute Governance252. Season 5 wrap-upOMG is written, produced, narrated and scored by Matt Fullbrook.   TRANSCRIPT: Here we are at the end of another season of OMG. Invariably, during the process of writing the last episode of a season of the show, I find myself wondering if I’ll do another one. Not because I don’t want to or because I think it’s not worth it. It’s just never clear if I’ll have any more ideas, let alone FIFTY more ideas. So, who knows? Anyway, I don’t know about you but I think this season h...2024-12-1901 minOne Minute GovernanceOne Minute Governance251. What is the point of the question I'm about to ask?This season, every episode of OMG focuses on a question that directors really need to answer. OMG is written, produced, narrated and scored by Matt Fullbrook.   TRANSCRIPT: Question #49: What is the point of the question I’m about to ask? By proposing this question, I guess I’m basically recommending a bit of cognitive behavioural therapy for directors. I won’t dive into CBT other than to say it can help people to develop habits to manage undesired thoughts or behaviours. And if you listen back to the intro of this season...2024-12-1601 minOne Minute GovernanceOne Minute Governance250.

OMG is written, produced, narrated and scored by Matt Fullbrook.   TRANSCRIPT: Question #48: What, specifically, are we going to do better next time? I could’ve made this the shortest episode ever by just stating the question and leaving it at that. I suspect it’s obvious what the point of this question is and why it matters. It forces us to abandon the assumption that we’re perfect, and prompts us to make – and hopefully follow th...2024-12-1201 minOne Minute GovernanceOne Minute Governance249. Are we compromising instead of being intentional?This season, every episode of OMG focuses on a question that directors really need to answer. OMG is written, produced, narrated and scored by Matt Fullbrook.   TRANSCRIPT: Question #46: Are we compromising instead of being intentional? Don’t get me wrong: compromise is a useful hack. Both in the “let’s make everyone equally unhappy” sense and the “let’s shoot down the middle instead of taking an extreme position” sense. And I think compromise is often really appropriate in boardrooms. That said, compromise often turns into a habit, especially in situations where we’re rea...2024-12-0901 minOne Minute GovernanceOne Minute Governance248.

OMG is written, produced, narrated and scored by Matt Fullbrook.   TRANSCRIPT: Question #46: Is the way we do things valuable for our owners/members? We’ve said before on the show – including a few times this season – that questions about owners or shareholders or members or whatever term is applicable for your corporation...have different implications and flavours in different jurisdictions. Let’s also note that we’re asking if the way we do things is “valuable” to...2024-12-0501 minOne Minute GovernanceOne Minute Governance247.

Today’s question kinda revisits what we talked about back in episodes 214, 215 and 216, except at this point we’ve answered a lot more questions that will help us do a better job here.

I did a session a few months ago with a group of board chairs of cool complex organizations. I made a case to them – similar to the one from the previous episode – that each person in the room has different needs and preferences, and that an important part of a board chair...2024-11-2701 minOne Minute GovernanceOne Minute Governance245.

OMG is written, produced, narrated and scored by Matt Fullbrook.   TRANSCRIPT: Question #43: Is the way we do things working for me? I’ve said before on OMG and elsewhere that your work as a director isn’t about you. You’re serving others. Nonetheless, you’re still a human being with your own preferences, moods, skills, experience and needs. Sometimes mundane things will dramatically affect the way you show up for something – even if it’s something s...2024-11-2501 minOne Minute GovernanceOne Minute Governance244.

I know that boardrooms aren’t typically environments that provoke much excitement. And I’m not trying to pretend that getting excited is really the point of a board’s work. But just because it’s not the point doesn’t mean that it’s not worth aiming for. Yes, it’s true that the emotions we feel when we’re in a...2024-11-2101 minOne Minute GovernanceOne Minute Governance243. What are we afraid of?This season, every episode of OMG focuses on a question that directors really need to answer. OMG is written, produced, narrated and scored by Matt Fullbrook.   TRANSCRIPT: Question #41: What are we afraid of? I wonder if you’ve noticed something that I’ve started to notice lately. There’s a bit of a trend among people who think and speak and write about corporate governance where some of them seem to be trying to pathologize the way that people behave in boardrooms. For example, classifying boardrooms as places where people are scared...2024-11-1801 minOne Minute GovernanceOne Minute Governance242.

It’s a coincidence – an actual for real coincidence – that the chunk of my calendar that I had blocked off to write the last batch of scripts for this season of OMG landed on November 6th, 2024.

I’ve only relatively recently become familiar with the world of business design. Ya, given my positioning for more than 20 years inside an academic institution with a powerful business design pedigree, I should probably be a bit embarrassed.

That it’s somehow bad for directors to know and like each other.

What's one thing we do that's completely useless?This season, every episode of OMG focuses on a question that directors really need to answer. OMG is written, produced, narrated and scored by Matt Fullbrook.   TRANSCRIPT: Question #37: What’s one thing we do that’s completely useless? This is probably the most self-evident question in the entire season. It’s true that baked into this question is an assumption that there’s at least one thing your board does that is, in fact, completely useless. As in, it adds no value to anyone in any way. Maybe it’s a routine age...2024-11-0401 minOne Minute GovernanceOne Minute Governance238.

OMG is written, produced, narrated and scored by Matt Fullbrook.   TRANSCRIPT: Question #36: What are three things we wish management would explain to us in greater detail? Without looking, what do you know about the appendix? As in, the little tube jutting out of most humans’ large intestines. I’m willing to bet that if I sampled 100 people listening to this episode, the only appendix-related knowledge that we all have in common is that sometimes something can g...2024-10-3101 minOne Minute GovernanceOne Minute Governance237. What are three things we wish management would explain to us in simpler language?This season, every episode of OMG focuses on a question that directors really need to answer. OMG is written, produced, narrated and scored by Matt Fullbrook.   TRANSCRIPT: Question #35: What are three things we wish management would explain to us in simpler language? Nothing could be more appropriate than the actual 100% true fact that I wrote the script for this episode while listening to a compilation of Curtis Mayfield’s greatest hits. The greatest hits aren’t as satisfying as, say, just listening through the album Curtis top to bottom, but still. As fo...2024-10-2801 minOne Minute GovernanceOne Minute Governance236. Are we sure we use our experts well?This season, every episode of OMG focuses on a question that directors really need to answer. OMG is written, produced, narrated and scored by Matt Fullbrook.   TRANSCRIPT: Question #34: Are we sure we use our experts well? It goes without saying that you can’t just stick a bunch of smart people in a room together and expect them to get along, let alone to make patient and well-informed decisions together. Things get even worse when those people aren’t just smart, but also have serious depth of expertise in areas that are d...2024-10-2401 minOne Minute GovernanceOne Minute Governance235. What's at the top of our expertise wish list?This season, every episode of OMG focuses on a question that directors really need to answer. OMG is written, produced, narrated and scored by Matt Fullbrook.   TRANSCRIPT: Question #33: What’s at the top of our expertise wish list? It’s been a couple of months since episode 207 where I urged you to consider what, specifically, makes a director great. I have asked *many* directors and executives that question and they have never, ever, answered by listing areas of expertise. And I think that makes sense, right? There’s no type or depth o...2024-10-2101 minOne Minute GovernanceOne Minute Governance234. How might we empower our loudest directors to be better listeners?This season, every episode of OMG focuses on a question that directors really need to answer. OMG is written, produced, narrated and scored by Matt Fullbrook.   TRANSCRIPT: Question #32: How might we empower the loudest directors to be better listeners? Having an ultra-confident expert on a board is a blessing and a curse. I suspect I don’t really have to explain what I mean – it’s pretty obvious. I mean, confident expertise, when the expertise is relevant to the work of the board, is a shortcut to managing information asymmetry and ensurin...2024-10-1701 minOne Minute GovernanceOne Minute Governance233. How might we empower our quietest directors to make an impact?This season, every episode of OMG focuses on a question that directors really need to answer. OMG is written, produced, narrated and scored by Matt Fullbrook.   TRANSCRIPT: Question #31: how might we empower our quietest directors to make an impact? There’s a surprisingly common and patently absurd notion in the world of boards and corporate governance. It goes something like this: when we recruit a new director, we don’t really expect them to contribute much in the first year – mostly we want them to listen and learn. Most of you OMG lis...2024-10-1401 minOne Minute GovernanceOne Minute Governance232.

OMG is written, produced, narrated and scored by Matt Fullbrook.   TRANSCRIPT: Question #30: How many of us wish our work were more spontaneous? I admitted in the last episode – to nobody’s surprise, I imagine – that I generally prefer the unpredictable over the predictable. That doesn’t – and shouldn’t – mean that anyone else should feel the same way.

Ever notice how lots of people get uncomfortable the moment things get unpredictable? It’s both normal and understandable.

But that can make it even more jarring when something unexpected happens, or when someone in the roo...2024-10-0701 minOne Minute GovernanceOne Minute Governance230.

In episodes 192 and 193 of OMG I talked about the importance of breaks and physical movement. These are not trivial nice to haves – they are critical to making sure that people are cognitively engaged and comfortable – both of which we can all agree are important to board effectiveness.

As any casual OMG listener will already know, I spend a lot of time encouraging corporate directors and senior executives to do things that are outside of the range of normal behaviours in boardrooms.

Back in episode 189, I talked about the amazing work by Leidy Klotz and others on a cognitive bias called “subtraction neglect”. Basically, subtraction neglect describes that our brains find it really easy to consider solutions to problems that involve adding stuff and really hard to think of solutions that involve taking things away.

In the previous episode, I admitted that work sometimes sucks, and the work of a board is no different. Despite the fact that we can never completely avoid or alleviate the pain of board work, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try.

And for almost all of us, work sometimes sucks. The fact that work sometimes sucks is not an indication that something is wrong. It’s just often a fact of life.

OMG is written, produced, narrated and scored by Matt Fullbrook.   TRANSCRIPT: Question #23: What might I do to make things a bit better? Conventional definitions of corporate governance frame it as something that exists: a system of processes and structures that promote transparency and accountability or some other such nonsense. Nonsense because it leaves us with the impression that corporate governance isn’t something that actual people actually do.

If you haven’t listened to the previous episode about knowing whether your CEO is doing an awesome job or not, you might want to take a sec and do that.

I’ve had the amazing privilege of working with many, many boards on board evaluations over the years.

Building on the last episode about what conversations we hope to have, it’s hard to have a useful conversation without useful information.

Let me be clear: this question is not the same as “have we all used ChatGPT?” It’s also not “Do we know how to provide useful prompts to chatGPT?” Or anything directly about ChatGPT or its competitors at all.

This question was basically at the beginning of the origin story of my current definition of good governance – the one about intentionally cultivating effective conditions.

I’ve been pretty outspoken over the years about my thoughts on board composition.
