“How does this impact us?” is a question you’ll often hear in boardrooms. But less so, “Who is the us?” and “Isn’t the us also the environment and the community?” or “Should we think about what we can have a positive impact on, versus just thinking about what we’ll be negatively impacted by?”. Powerful questions, all discussed by FDI’s Paul and governance guru Matt Fullbrook of Fullbrook Board Effectiveness, in this podcast about how ‘left-of-field’ issues might not be that ‘left’ after all.

We spitball:

• Reasons to think outside your board’s direct impact zone
• Why it’s impossible to benefit everyone, but important to consider everyone
• Stakeholder representation in the boardroom and conflicts of interest in being a representative for other voices on the board
• How to bake stakeholder thinking into your board’s practices
