Robyn Weatherley has spent years and hundreds of meetings in all types of Boardrooms, working with some of the best (and less fine) Board Directors in Australia.
Her extensive career in corporate governance has included working with and advising numerous Boards of substantial operating entities (listed and unlisted, private and government), on how to operate on the right side of good governance and the law. Living and breathing the world of Directors means Robyn can provide both aspirational and new Board Directors with detailed, humanistic insights as to what a newbie to this field might encounter upon their first appointment - details very seldomly shared in structured education courses.
Much like an informal fireside chat with a friend, 'Eyes Wide Open - A First Timer's Guide to the Real World of Boards and Company Directorship' takes the interested and keen, but uninitiated Director, on a high level journey through the very important step of how to conduct a thorough and effective due diligence; then on to the experience, expectations and risks of the appointment; a review of the people you'll be likely be working with, and then rounding out with insights concerning ongoing education and what the ongoing responsibilities of a Director look like.
Straight forward, easy to grasp, conversational - this is what you'll find in 'Eyes Wide Open'. It's a great ready reckoner for anyone considering a Board role in their future. Whilst the hardcover was published in 2015, the principles remain and hold as firm today, as they did when first written.
