Peridot Partners: Conversations with LeadersAuthor: Peridot Partners
What if you are a different type of leader? Do you look around and struggle to see people like you? Here at Peridot we're talking to leaders who lead differently. They're people who embrace qualities like empathy, vulnerability, conviction, patience, curiosity, courage and creativity to support the people around them to be the best versions of themselves. They're not afraid to talk about love - whether that's loving your career or looking after themselves and their own wellbeing. Our leaders come from all walks of life and different sectors but they all have a couple of things in common - transparency and candour when talking about their leadership journey. We're Peridot Partners and we're an executive search agency working with people who see things differently and lead better.

Episode 1
Thursday, 5 November, 2020
This #TrusteesWeek, we spoke with Getting on Board's CEO, Penny Wilson, about what is stopping the charity sector moving forward with trustee diversity.According to Getting on Board's charity sector research, two-thirds of trustees are over 50, only 36% are women, only 8% are people of colour (against 14% of the population), 75% have an income above the national median, and we are doing poorly on representation from other protected characteristics like disability.So how can we ensure the charity sector improves these statistics? Penny and Grant Taylor discuss:Why does trustee diversity matter?Why charities need to acknowledge the scale of the problem;The unintentional behaviours that hinder trustee diversity;What practical barriers are put up around diverse trustee recruitment?What types of fear are holding charities back with diverse recruitment?Using trustee terms proactively;Tapping into more diverse board talent;Getting diversity right at the top.A simply unmissable episode!
