Sound-Up Governance (Ep4) - How can we get the "people stuff" right? Featuring Nick Chambers

Listen now | TRANSCRIPT Matt Welcome back to Sound-Up Governance. If you've already listened to the first few episodes, you've probably noticed a bit of a theme: something that honestly kind of surprises me! Even speaking to people who are deep technical experts, or who work in hugely formalized environments are trying to convince me that everything, from authority to accountability to what makes a business good is about people, and personalities. It's all soft and fungible, even if it's simultaneously technically complex. So to start learning more about this people-oriented theme, I had a conversation with my friend, Nick Chambers, a partner at Boyden Executive Search, who focuses on recruiting senior executives and board members for organizations that are publicly or charitably funded. Places that operate in areas like health care, arts and culture or social services. In other words, organizations that are driven by purpose rather than profit. For those of us who don't completely understand the whole executive search thing, why would an organization want to hire someone like Nick?
