Stepping back to lead forward: my key takeaways

Kathrin Wolff Schmandt

Executive Director / Head of Marketing, UBS AG

The case studies were extremely helpful to put the theory into practice. It was key for all of us to understand that the independent director role comes with responsibility to set the strategy and framework for the CEO (and that the board of directors do not have an executive role) – we must stand back. The group spirit was great with participants that are now in my close network.
