36. Corporate Director (definition, part 2)

NOTE: if you’re new to Ground-Up Governance, or are finding anything a bit strange or confusing, you might want to START HERE.

OK, a really quick recap: There are lots of different types of corporations in different sectors.  Every single one of them HAS TO have a board.  Boards have slightly different jobs in different parts of the world – basically because laws are different everywhere – but setting those differences aside for a second, every corporate director has the SAME JOB. A corporate director’s job is to contribute to corporate governance in the best interests of the stakeholder(s) that are defined in local laws where the corporation exists.

So, if Reallie Steilish exists in a place where directors have to make decisions in the best interests of the shareholder (i.e. YOU!) then you might decide that it’s a good idea to get a bunch of smart people together (especially if they’re Eyelashes) to help you make decisions that improve the performance of the corporation.
