The fascination people have with
00:00:02
dashboards, I've seen it happen actually
00:00:05
where you've got an a dashboard that's
00:00:06
all green. Everything's fine. And then
00:00:09
the next month there's some catastrophic
00:00:12
issue that comes out of the woodwork and
00:00:15
people are caught unawares. And so
00:00:17
you've got to be asking deeper, better
00:00:19
questions and engage with people. Walk
00:00:22
the floors, find out what's really going
00:00:24
on. You've got to be curious and I think
00:00:26
that's one of the the the traits of a
00:00:29
board member think is from my
00:00:31
perspective one of the most valuable is
00:00:33
that curiosity. How do you get people to
00:00:35
talk to you? How do you get to the truth
00:00:38
of the matter? And if you're a bit shy
00:00:41
and don't like to network, then you
00:00:43
you're you need to work on that because
00:00:46
you've got to be around the table
00:00:47
bringing that information out of people,
00:00:50
drawing it out.
00:00:52
Getting people to talk.
00:00:53
Yeah, and getting people to open up is
00:00:55
really important particularly in a
00:00:57
non-exec director role, particularly if
00:00:58
as you say you're walking the floor,
00:01:00
you're finding out things from people.
00:01:03
It can be quite daunting, right?
