	ABU JALAL: WHEN BOARDS HIRE OUTSIDERS. The Board’s duty to hire CEOs is one of its most critical. Listen to Abu Jalal’s examination about what happens when public companies select outside CEOs. Inside CEO candidates are those within the company. There are two types of outsider candidates. The first candidate is outside the company but still within the same industry. The second candidate is both outside the company and outside the industry. What is the impact on share holder value three months and three years later? We apologize for the poor quality of this 67 minute audio program. Stick with it! Abu Jalal came to the United States from Bangladesh and is Associate Professor of Finance at Boston’s Sawyer Business School at Suffolk University. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota.

	BOARDS AND CORPORATE CULTURE. It is the role of the Board to review and to approve corporate strategy. What about corporate culture? Peter Drucker once said, "Culture Eats Strategy for Breakfast." Southwestern Airlines founder Herb Kelleher called corporate culture the "glue" that keeps Southwestern Airlines ahead of its competition. Corporate culture is difficult to create and almost impossible for competitors to copy. Culture takes 5-7 years to achieve. Boards may have a 5-7 year time horizon. But CEOs who are not founders do not have this time horizon. How should Boards address corporate culture? Should Boards strive to be culture role models for their companies? This is a 55 minute conversation between Larry Stybel and U.S. company Board members. Topics to be covered include: Role of corporate culture as a competitive weapon.

	LARRY SIFF ON QUESTIONS BOARD MEMBERS SHOULD ASK CEOs ABOUT HOW THE CEO INTENDS TO BALANCE GROWTH AND SUSTAINABILITY. LARRY SIFF.
	“Post Acquisition Integration: lessons learned.” Susan McCuaig. In a previous Seat at the Table session, we discussed a trend in Boards to want to spend the necessary time to understand the consequences of an acquisition before the deal is consummated. How many Boards spend the necessary time to review the consequences of the acquisition AFTER the deal is done? According to one informal survey, one board in ten structures time to acquisition integration review. And PWC research suggests that 70% of acquisitions fail to achieve the owner’s original objectives. Coincidence? The failure of Boards to spend the necessary time to conducting systematic post acquisition integration review increases the probability of mistakes being repeated. Join us as we continue this conversation with Susan McCuaig. Susan McCuaig served as the Vice President, Human Resources for CIRCOR International, Inc., a global manufacturer of highly engineered products for the industrial, aerospace and energy markets from May 2005 to October 2011.

This 115 minute talk was given to 45 FEI members and guests. Larry Stybel of Stybel Peabody Lincolnshire says these are different existential positions leaders have about networking. Those leaders who engage in networking should focus on getting an accountability buddy, stop talking about themselves, focus on networking to the third level of the network chain, and read HOW TO MAKE FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE. Those leaders who are networkers should focus on achieving a public image of being network nodes to powerful people. And these powerful people owe them favors.
