In this episode, Mark Banicevich asks Steven Moe about purpose and governance. He asks what we mean by "purpose", the role of governance in an organisation, and why purpose is at the heart of governance. They discuss how purpose influences governance and board meanings practically, other tools a board can use to understand and implement purpose, and repercussions that may exist if the board deviates from the entity's purpose. Steven also shares advice he would give to a new director.
