Alembic Strategy Cafe With John Harte

We recently joined the team at Alembic Strategy for their latest 'Strategy Cafe' where Nick Mayhew engaged in a great conversation with John Harte, an expert in board composition in governance.


The webinar was recorded and the link to watch/listen is below where the conversation covers:


  • Where John's passion for good governance started

  • How to manage the challenges of resolving conflict at the board level

  • The three currencies of honesty, trust, and respect

  • Board legacy and decision-making

  • Adopting an adaptability and contribution mindset

  • The Chair's facilitation role and board processes

  • The Four Lines of Sight


This session offers practical insights and strategies for enhancing governance practices and fostering effective board dynamics in today's dynamic and demanding business environment.

As Paul Andrews, Founder and CEO at Family Business United concludes. "This was a refreshing insight into the future of family business boards, their need to embody the family values of the business owning family but to reflect the needs of the business in the ever-changing world in which we live and operate. I found the concept of currencies of real value to the family business community and the discussion around diversity interesting and relevant and all family businesses with a board should consider the four lines of sight in the context of their family firm as they seek to follow best practice and remain fit for the future."
