Doing Corporate Governance Right with Nell Minow.

Nell Minow has been described in the Financial Times as “doyenne of the US corporate governance movement”.

BusinessWeek has called her the "the queen of good corporate governance".

She co-authored the book Power and Accountability with Robert Monks, which was hailed as essential reading for anyone interested in corporate governance by legendary management thinker Peter Drucker.

And this week it was my honour and privilege to interview her on the Real Clear Values podcast.

Nell’s generosity, passion and insight in coming on the show make for a value-packed podcast episode on the ins and outs of corporate governance.

How can Britain help its former prime ministers to stay out of trouble?

An odd question, perhaps, but one that was recently answered by The Economist newspaper in view of David Cameron’s involvement with now collapsed Greensill Capital.

According to The Economist, the answer is for the state to give former prime ministers a purpose and a pension when they leave office.

But can’t those who have been trusted to govern the country be trusted to govern their own lives after office?

I have another idea.
