The 'Perspective' Podcast Series

The CHAIRS Global Perspective Podcast Series takes members inside unique, candid, in-depth conversations with some of the most respected Chairs, including John Mullen AM, David Gonski AC, Scott Perkins and other respected Chairs from across the globe.

Drawing on defining moments and hard-earned experience, they explore how exceptional Chairs exercise judgement, create high-performing boards, challenge and support executives, and lead organisations through complexity and change. Personal and practical, these conversations reveal how decisions made at the head of the table shape the organisation, and extend far beyond the boardroom

Perspective with David Gonski AC: What It Means to Lead a Board

David Gonski AC reflects on how the role of the Chair has evolved, why today’s best Chairs are coordinators rather than commanders, and what it takes to bring out the best in a board. He also explores the qualities that matter most in modern Chair leadership, how boards should approach succession, and why judgement, conscience and a capacity to keep learning are fundamental to the role.

Perspective with John Mullen AM: What It Really Takes to Chair a Board

John Mullen AM reflects on the growing demands placed on today’s Chairs, from heightened scrutiny and stakeholder expectations to the pressures of leading through crisis and rapid change. He explores the critical Chair-CEO relationship, the importance of board unity and constructive dissent, and why judgement, composure, industry knowledge and perspective are essential to effective Chair leadership.
