| 7/16/26 | The Leadership Blind Spot in the Boardroom | David Grossman, CEO, The Grossman Group | Send us Fan Mail New research suggests the biggest leadership risk right now may not be bad leaders — it’s “good” ones. In fact, good leaders are both the problem and the solution: they already have the fundamentals, but they haven’t adapted to what employees need from leaders today. A study of 2,206 U.S. employees, conducted by The Grossman Group with The Harris Poll, found that 54% rated their senior leader as “good.” Yet those same employees report three consistent gaps: they don’t feel va... | 23m 08s | ||||||
| 7/2/26 | From Family Table to Board Table - Effective Governance in Family-Owned Retail Businesses | Prof Dr Philipp Hoog, Partner, BBE Handelsberatung | Send us Fan Mail While we often think in terms of large, listed corporations, family firms account for some 70% of global GDP and 60% of global employment.

In this podcast, Dr Sabine Dembkowski, Founder and Managing Partner, is joined by Prof. Dr. Philipp Hoog. Philipp is a Partner at BBE Handelsberatung, a leading German consultancy sp... | 19m 39s | ||||||
| 6/17/26 | Selecting the Chair: Governance Lessons from the US and the UK | Susan Skerritt, Non-Executive Director | Send us Fan Mail Selecting the Chair: Governance Lessons from the US and the UK Chair succession is handled differently in the US and the UK. However, both approaches have merit, and there are key principles that matter regardless of geography. In this podcast, Dr Sabine Dembkowski, Founder and Managing Partner, is joined by Susan Skerritt. Susan is a Non-Executive Independent Director on the boards of Citibank Europe PLC, Tanger, Inc., and IG Group PLC. She previously served on the boa... | 32m 19s | ||||||
| 6/4/26 | Beyond the Obvious: How to get Chair Succession Right | Louise Angle, Senior Managing Director, Teneo | Send us Fan Mail Chair succession is a pivotal moment for boards. It presents an opportunity to reflect on the organisation's future needs and steer it forward strategically. For this reason, organisations must proceed carefully in their Chair searches, eschewing the obvious in favour of what’s truly needed. In this podcast, Dr Sabine Dembkowski, Founder and Managing Partner, is joined by Louise Angel. Louise is Senior Managing Director at Teneo and a leading board headhunter, specialis... | 16m 56s | ||||||
| 5/21/26 | From Awareness to Architecture: How Boards Can Build a Geopolitical Risk System | Colin Reed, Chief Intelligence Officer, Clock&Cloud | Send us Fan Mail Once boards prioritise managing geopolitical risk, how can they successfully move from diagnosing a problem to designing a plan of action?

| 5/6/26 | Boardrooms and Battlegrounds: Closing the Geopolitical Risk Gap | Colin Reed, Chief Intelligence Officer, Clock&Cloud | Send us Fan Mail Many boards treat geopolitics as background noise, leaving their companies exposed to unnecessary risk. Smart boards take a different approach, closing the gap and treating geopolitical risk with the same rigour as financial, cyber, and regulatory risks. In this podcast, Dr Sabine Dembkowski, Founder and Managing Partner, is joined by Colin Reed. Colin is the Chief Intelligence Officer of Clock&Cloud, a software start-up transforming how large enterprises manage geopoliti... | 24m 07s | ||||||

What does it take to add value to these Boards, and how does the work differ from that of a listed organisation? Most importantly, how can working with these companies shape a Board portfolio career? In this podcast, Dr Sabine Dembkowski, Founder and Managing Partner, is joined by Susanne Chishti, Chair of FINTECH Circle, Europe’s first Investor Network focuse... | 20m 27s | ||||||
