It must be challenging sometimes to have
00:00:02
non-executive directors in there that
00:00:03
don't have the lived experience that you
00:00:06
do of actually working in in academia.
00:00:09
>> No, I've come round to really value that
00:00:11
challenge.
00:00:12
That those often very simple questions
00:00:16
really make you think.
00:00:18
I've been in board situations where
00:00:20
there has really been very little
00:00:22
challenge and that is monumentally
00:00:24
unhelpful.
00:00:24
>> And then you everyone gets carried along
00:00:26
with the wave and
00:00:27
>> And everyone just assumes that because
00:00:29
they thought it was right at a
00:00:31
particular time, it continues to be the
00:00:33
right decision. No one interrogates it.
00:00:35
No one questions it. And if it was the
00:00:37
wrong decision, I've been in situations
00:00:39
where it's been catastrophically wrong.
00:00:43
Makes for a very difficult situation.
