The Blatterball Diaries by Lucy P. Marcus

The Blatterball Diaries by Lucy P. Marcus

www.project-syndicate.org — Lucy P. Marcus is CEO of Marcus Venture Consulting. read more LONDON - The World Cup has concluded with its usual flourish, and much of the world, as usual, couldn't help but get caught up in the excitement of it all - which is exactly the outcome that Sepp Blatter wants. Blatter, the president of FIFA, the Cup's organizing body, wants the afterglow of an exciting month of play to blot out the corruption and backroom deals - and, most recently, a ticket scandal - that have roiled his tenure. Times were very different in 1998, when Blatter took up his role.

A Theory of Boardroom Justice

A Theory of Boardroom Justice

www.project-syndicate.org — Lucy P. Marcus is CEO of Marcus Venture Consulting. read more LONDON - There is a real danger that corporate leaders, making decisions that seem correct behind closed doors, end up being tone-deaf in a soundproof room. When the doors open and the decisions are announced, it is clear that board members are often deeply disconnected from the world's economic and social realities. Consider executive pay packages. Board remuneration committees can explain them logically with complex formulas to justify them, and yet often they are completely out of line with common sense.

Aesop's year in the boardroom

Aesop's year in the boardroom

Reuters — Stories of boards and leadership are the Aesop's fables of the business world. Tales of power, money, ethics, hubris and the consumers and stakeholders in the businesses that surround us serve as cautionary tales and markers for our future. This year, we saw stories about active annual general meetings, executive compensation, the governance of newly public companies, diversity in the boardroom and much more. From Japan to Silicon Valley with Olympus, Facebook, Yahoo and HP, geography was no boundary and the themes were universal. The volume and speed at which board-related stories are hitting the headlines are unprecedented, and the pace looks like it will increase in the coming years.
