101. Season 2 Finale

What this episode covers

SCRIPT Hi everyone, this is episode one hundred and one of One Minute Governance. What a privilege it is to have a platform where I can just, y’know, muse about the ins and outs of corporate governance, push against some orthodoxy, snoop around in some unexplored corners of the topic, and ask some big or dumb questions. I had some more fun guests this season – to whom I am seriously grateful – and somehow didn’t run out of things to talk about. My process for making the podcast this season was I would write and record a few episodes at a time. When the pipeline’s about to run dry, I sit down and HOPE that I can come up with something new to talk about – something that I feel is at least a 7 out of 10 on the “hmm this is interesting” scale. And I’m always a bit nervous that I won’t come up with anything. But thanks to my incredible community, I’m always having fascinating and wacky conversations that inspire me and help me to see my work in a new way. It didn’t hurt that I was unemployed for the duration of this season, giving me a bit more unstructured time to think and dream. I still don’t know what the next big chapter will be, but I’m looking forward to season 3 and the funky stuff we can explore together when it launches a few months down the road. In the meantime, here are some of the things I’ll be thinking about: “how can I help to establish a pipeline of governance agitators – not devil’s advocates, but, like, disruptors?” “How does the asymmetry between authority and power manifest in boardrooms – for better or worse?” By the way you should all read Power, for All by my friend Tiziana Casciaro and her co-author Julie Battilana. And finally, “what can OMG be next season that’s even better than it is now?” I’ll be thinking about it. Until then, thank you for listening.
