So when I ask about Executive Presence, it's probably more about me wanting to be more of an Executive then an Accommodator.

Psychological safety is not about comfort.

It is about truth.."

"Matthew Webster picked up on something I really cared about when writing this book: I didn't just want to tell boards what to do — I wanted to help leaders build the kind of thinking that holds up when the pressure's real and the decision actually matters. That mindset doesn't stay contained to the boardroom; it shows up everywhere leaders have to make hard calls."
