A Theory of Boardroom Justice

And they're sitting there at the long boardroom table with all the drawings, and the renderings, and all the Chinese food caskets are lying on the table, and I mean, what was the conversation that was going on there?

And they have bosses who scold them for doodling in the boardroom.

The European Union and its member states are also taking an increasingly active approach to corporate governance, including regulations concerning boardroom diversity.

If directors remind themselves each time they enter the boardroom why they are there, and pause for a moment to consider how their views would be affected if they did not know who they were, they would make better decisions for the company and for the entire system in which it operates. In this sense and only this sense ignorance in the boardroom is the right approach.
