Across the Board – Episode 27: Henry Wolfe on Board Selection
In this episode of Across the Board, I visit with Henry Wolfe, Chairman of De La Vega, Activist Investor and Author of Governance Arbitrage. We take a deep dive into his recent article; Director Selection Criteria at Public Companies is Poor - Here's How to Fix It. Some of the highlights from the podcast include: · The GE Board was classic for diversity and captains of industry. What was wrong with it?· Where did the requirement for Board independence come from? Why is it the wrong question to ask?· What is glaringly missing from Board selection today?· What 3 categories do you suggest (at a minimum) for Board selection?· What 2 characteristics do you believe every Board member should have?· Why is competence the key requirement for Board membership?
