I am giving further thought, offline, to yesterday’s interviews. This is management bollocks for “I am day-dreaming, and the document I have open in front of me is about yesterday’s interviews.” It was humbling to hear from the candidates about how they chair large and diverse boards, drawing out consensus on complex issues, ensuring that everyone feels heard, bringing people onside and on board and on point but not on other people’s nerves. I think of my own futile attempts to get 25 CIPA Council members to agree so much as a set of minutes. And often only 12 of them turn up, although in my defence it is the 12 who think what I’m doing is rubbish, not the 13 who don’t much care either way. This chairing business, I think – maybe it is not for me. Then I remember that I only have to do it twice more (yay!), and that on one of those occasions I am going to do it dressed in nothing more than a tiara and an ermine collar. Oh yes, I forgot to say: I’ve updated the bucket list.
