I met this morning with my Chair of Trustees, Pam Handley. CEOs face lots of difficult situations / choices and everyone falters occasionally so it is invaluable to talk things through with someone whose judgment you trust. Today we talked through job evaluations, volunteering, accommodation, membership, funding, networks and governance. Pam listened, considered and advised in perfect proportion – like all good Chairpeople, she is the steady hand on her CEO's occasionally wayward tiller.
In the evening, Jackie and I played Scrabble, enjoyed Have I Got News For You and agreed that Ian Hislop is the Greatest Living Englishman.
