Grit in the Boardroom
Do you want to know how leaders confront a corporate scandal and what it really takes to lead under pressure? Grit in the Boardroom is a bi-weekly podcast that pulls back the curtain on boardroom decisions, exploring how high-stakes strategy turns into business resilience in practice. Host Erika Eliasson-Norris – CEO of Beyond Governance, Founder of an award-winning consultancy, and Governance Assessor to the UK’s Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry – walks through management case studies, turnaround stories, and candid executive interviews. Erika highlights the strengths, shortcomings, conflicts, and strategic decision-making that define modern corporate governance. Every episode brings together voices from across leadership: executives, chairs, and directors who have stood on the edge of critical calls, felt the weight of risk, and lived with the outcomes. If you enjoy podcasts like How I Built This with Guy Raz or Worklife with Adam Grant, you’ll love Grit in the Boardroom.
