How ESG and Stakeholder Capitalism are Changing Boards

This may be the most challenging and interesting time to serve on a US corporate board in the past two decades. Boards are responding to a heightened focus on both “the what”—an array of ESG issues—and “the whom”—a shift toward multistakeholder capitalism. Hear from one of the nation’s leading ESG voices, Paul Washington, Executive Director of The Conference Board ESG Center. His session will address the impact of these trends on the board’s role as a strategic partner for management, as well as the board’s composition, capabilities, structure, and leadership, and how search consultants can serve as trusted advisors to their clients.

Purposeful Leadership, Driving Impact Through a Thriving Culture

C-suite and senior executives own and lead the culture-shaping process. The organization becomes a “Shadow of its Leaders.” To transform a culture there must be a clear and compelling purpose for the shift. A strong company culture is a powerful invisible force, a set of unspoken shared assumptions and values that shape the everyday experience of people and employees connected to an organization, both inside and out. 

In this fireside chat, you will hear from Mariya Trickett on her leadership journey, her organization’s transformation, and the impact culture has on employees, customers, and stakeholders when tightly linked to strategy.
