jerryking>shareholder value.<<” The group expects to finish this work by December and Suncor’s agreement with Elliott states their findings will be made public. Where was this sort of urgency prior to the Florida fund manager’s campaign?
When Elliott arrived at Suncor, it encountered a board chockablock with retired CEOs. The activist arrived at a company owned by major institutions – Fidelity, Mackenzie and RBC Global Asset Management. Those two groups – directors and institutional shareholders – are charged with overseeing governance at Suncor. In the wake of Elliott’s successful campaign, they now look >>complacent<<.
Mr. Singer, Elliott’s 77-year-old co-CEO, has made a US$4-billion-plus fortune over four decades by shaking up companies. After a three-month battle with Suncor, he’s claimed another prize. How can activists like Mr. Singer keep winning showdowns when all they’re doing is posing the questions that boards and long-term shareholders are meant to ask?

Racial and religious understanding and appreciation must become integral to the education curriculum. Fear that the proceeds of revenues from oil and gas will be sequestered into the pockets of a few, or for the benefit of one racial group over another, has to be addressed by the adoption of laws governing >>transparency<< and wealth distribution and by severe penalties for their violation. The >>electoral system<< also requires >>root-and-branch<< transformation, including by ensuring that no politician serves on the Elections Commission or appoints anyone to it – that task should be passed to representative bodies of civil society and **enshrined in law**.[i.e. = "legislation"]
But, more than anything else, those who seek political office should understand that they are elected to serve the nation [i.e.= "serving others"], and not to become the nation’s overlords. And, when the majority of the electorate vote to relieve them of office, they should leave, recognising that political office is not their right to hold; it is the people’s right to give and to take away.
Bouterse of Suriname showed, in the end, that he understood well that Suriname’s interest in the 21st Century would have been gravely blighted had he chosen to remain despite the will of the people.

If taxes on the rich were raised, which most Democratic presidential candidates support, more public funds could be earmarked for museums — and for libraries, performing arts centers and other cultural institutions.

jerryking>board member<< at Apple (and close friend of Steve Jobs) and as a coach to companies backed by Kleiner Perkins, a venture-capital firm.
Google was one of Kleiner’s investments and when Mr Schmidt was appointed chief executive of the company in 2001, Kleiner’s John Doerr suggested that he recruit Campbell as his coach. Although Mr Schmidt was initially reluctant to accept the need for coaching, he learned to value Campbell’s advice. In 2004 Campbell helped to persuade the Google boss not to quit when his roles as chairman and chief executive were split.
Campbell acted as an unpaid mentor at Google until his death in 2016. He also coached executives at eBay, Facebook and Twitter, among others. In 2000 he advised the Amazon board not to replace Jeff Bezos as chief executive of the e-commerce company.
As a coach, Campbell’s role was not to be in charge of particular projects, or to make strategic decisions, but to **make other people work better**. Although he advised individuals, his focus was on ensuring that teams were able to co-operate properly. His motto was that “your title makes you a manager, your people make you a leader.”
While he was happy to dish out >>praise<< in group meetings, and was a generous man in his spare time, he was not a soft touch. He simply believed in giving harsh feedback in private, and was usually adept enough to make the recipient grateful for the telling-off.
When he talked to people, he gave them his undivided attention; the discussions were never interrupted and he never checked his smartphone.[i.e. = "he was an illuminator"] But coaching had to be a two-way process. Some people were temperamentally incapable of responding properly. To be coachable, Campbell believed, managers need to be honest, humble and willing to learn.
A sign of his unique personality is that he has not been replaced since he died. Instead Google is attempting to incorporate his principles into the way the company is run. All managers should, in part, be coaches. The idea seems to be gaining popularity. In their book, “It’s the Manager”, Jim Clifton and Jim Harter of Gallup, a polling organisation, include a whole section called “Boss to Coach”.
This is linked to the importance of >>employee engagement<<. Gallup cites research showing that when managers involve employees in setting their own work goals, the latter are four times more likely to report feeling engaged. Managers are responsible for 70% of the variance in how engaged employees were.
The primary job of any manager is to help people be more effective in their job. One benefit should be that workers will stay with the company; the main reason they change jobs, according to what they tell Gallup, is for “career growth opportunities”. Workers should get regular feedback from their managers—daily if possible, surveys show. An annual performance review is of little use.
But this approach will only work if it comes from the >>top down<<. Middle managers tend to emulate their superiors and to respond to >>incentives<<; they will coach underlings if this behaviour is reinforced and rewarded.
Of course, even the best coaches and managers have to give their employees scope to find their own way, and make their own mistakes. ]]>advice boards_&_directors_&_governance books coaching Google mentoring Silicon_Valley Bill_Campbell book_reviews unpaid employee_engagement illuminators incentives praise top-down advice-giving working_through_othershttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:jerryking/b:750c6050445a/Andrea Illy: adapting a family business to a multinational world2019-07-24T22:11:08+00:00

jerryking>data literacy<< to the board — will inevitably stand a better chance of achieving long-term change.....The truth is that data in the boardroom enjoys a patchy reputation, typified by dull, overlong PowerPoint presentations.[i.e. = "death by PowerPoint"] A cynic might suggest that even the most recent addition to boardroom structures — the >>chief data officer<< — is used by many boards simply as a device to prevent other members needing to worry about the numbers.
Here are 3 techniques that can be used to encourage progressive change in the boardroom.
(1) Use KPIs that are meaningful and appropriate for answering the central questions about the business and the market it operates in. Try to eliminate “inertia metrics” — i.e. “we report this because we always do”.
(2) Rework boardroom materials so that they encourage board members to read data, preferably in advance of meetings, rather than glance at it during one. This might mean transforming the dreaded PowerPoint deck into something a little more journalistic, a move that will help engage “System 2” thinking.
(3) Above all, be aware of >>unconscious bias<< in the boardroom and focus on debunking it. Most of us are poor intuitive statisticians with biases that lurk deep in our “System 1” view of the world. There is insight, value and >>memorability<< in the surprise that comes with highlighting our own ignorance [i.e. acknowledging that we might be a "blank slate" in a given domain] — so use data to shine a light on surprising trends, not to simply reinforce that which is already known.
