Listen "Governance – Leadership in Action"
Episode Synopsis
Kicking off Season 2 of the Boardroom Association Podcast, this episode dives into the layered world of governance—not as a dry checklist, but as a living system that shapes trust, purpose, and performance. Simone De Ioanna, Executive Director of the European Psychiatric Association, brings a human lens to governance—revealing it as something deeply layered and full of potential. Beatrice Richez-Baum, Director General at ecoDa, takes us into governance’s structural core—sharing why leaders must review governance regularly and see it as a strategic enabler, not a constraint. This episode is part of The Systems Behind the Strategy: Leading with What Matters, a three-part podcast series from Boardroom Magazine, hosted by Naom Smith, produced in collaboration with the European Society of Association Executives, and powered by Congrex Switzerland.
