Uncharted Spaces: Reset the agenda. Reimagine the boardroom by Shefaly Yogendra PhD

As you’re growing a business, assembling the right leadership team around you can be a critical (and slightly daunting) task, but this new book argues that perhaps it is time to reconsider exactly what is required in the boardroom.

For many years board positions have been portrayed in media as the kind of cushy gigs people enjoy in the latter stages of their career, but in Uncharted Spaces, Shefaly Yogendra paints a very different picture of how it should be. She shares remarkably candid stories from her own experience of boardroom dynamics around the world to highlight what works – and perhaps more importantly, what doesn’t.

All businesses today are working in an environment that is unpredictable, whether that is due to technological changes, geopolitical instability or climate challenges. Your senior leadership team add the most meaningful value when it comes to navigating this uncertainty, and that means having people who can be imaginative, think laterally, show strategic stamina and be brave enough to have different, and difficult, conversations.

While a book on boardroom governance might not sound like the most exciting business topic, what I really enjoyed is how the author’s passion for, and expertise in the topic really shines through. Shefaly is an experienced independent board director and committee chair with such a wealth of experience in technology, innovation, risk and foresight that she is not only able bring to life the good, the bad and the ugly of the boardroom, but combine the stories with invaluable, practical lessons for readers to take away.
