How do you know if a board or trustee role is actually right for you?
James Fairclough, who built his career at Procter & Gamble before moving into general management and then building a portfolio of board and trustee roles, shares the lesson that changed how he approaches every new opportunity. In this Your Next Chapter conversation, James explains why the real question isn't "am I ready for this?" but "is this role right for me, right now?"
He reflects on an early board appointment he took for the wrong reasons, the three questions he now asks himself before saying yes to any opportunity, and why so many talented people rule themselves out of board roles simply because they underestimate what they have to offer.
A candid and practical session for senior marketers considering their first step into the boardroom.
