Strategy and Leadership expert David Lancefield speaks with Thinking Dimensions Managing Partner Scott Newton on Board Dynamics and Executive Team Performance:
"What Does it take to perform effectively as a Board?"
As David explains his vision: "In this series of interviews I want to get under the skin of topics relevant to leaders – developing strategy, pursuing growth opportunities, responding to disruption, evolving their culture. I talk to executives, entrepreneurs and management thinkers from all over the world. I challenge them to be clear, precise and simple in what they say! And I want them to leave us with ideas we can action. "
