An Annual Burst of Enthusiasm For The New Year

An Annual Burst of Enthusiasm For The New Year

As a regular contributor on the January ‘Pipeline Top Flight’ flagship Leadership programme for senior female executives targeting at CEO, COO, CFO and other senior leadership roles.  I come away with a refreshed sense of what can be accomplished and a determination to support the further achievement of women to the senior levels of our companies, organisations and Boards.  It is my annual visible glimpse of the talent pool awaiting to be released on to our Boards. 

On the programme we collectively ‘dived’ into the world of Boards, to better understand what Boards need and the role the individual can play.  This enables the participants to understand what drive Boards and to target the senior leadership roles which support the Board with more precision.

Tips for making it to the TOP

The drain of talented women from the executive ranks is appalling and hits at the fundamental bedrock of our talent pool of candidates to participate on and run our Boards.

As a regular contributor to the ‘Pipeline Top Flight’ leadership programme, I see a stream of talented women who are fortunate to have been supported by their organisations to get impactful strategic learning and guidance on making it into the top Executive, CEO, COO and CFO roles of our businesses and organisations and to improve their retention in those roles.

In this article Helen Pitcher from Advanced Boardroom Excellence considers the need for diversity in the executive pipeline, and the important role played by non-executive directors.

As we consider the future of boards and reflect on past failings and misadventures it is important to remind ourselves of the capabilities and skills that non-executive directors (“NEDs”) are designed to bring to a company.
