Description

Jock Lennox is Senior Independent Director and Audit Committee Chair at Barratt Developments plc, and Chair of Johnson Service Group plc and Clarion Housing Group. Listen to his thoughts on: the three most definitive experiences in your board career (2:01 ); approaching uncertainty in the boardroom (6:59 ); shifting boardroom thinking to focus on what’s possible rather than a binary sense of right and wrong (10:21 ); how to challenge the executive as a board member (11:47 ); the best way to harness cognitive diversity (14:40 ); where boards add the most value (16:51 ); getting the most from strategy days (20:19 ); what separates good audit committees from bad ones (24:42 ); how audit committees can assess and influence culture (32:21 ); getting past people telling you what you want to hear (37:28 ); when Jock has misjudged an individual — and what he learned (40:50 ); and the ⚡Lightning Round⚡ (43:54 ).
