In this Five Good Ideas session, Aleem Punja, Executive Director, Future Ready Initiative, Aga Khan Council for Canada, shared lessons from leading and advising boards across sectors.

How can leading with head, heart, and homework transform governance from functional to exceptional? 

His five good ideas: 

1. Start with purpose, not paper

2. Govern, do not manage

3. Centre equity and pluralism in every decision

4. Build a strong, trust-based relationship with the Executive Director/Chief Executive Officer

5. Commit to learning, preparation, and self-reflection
