Wendy Luhabe: On the Boardwalk
Wendy Luhabe, who had been voted “South Africa’s most powerful business woman measured in terms of influence, not wealth” by one of South Africa’s most respected business magazines, considered the latest offer she had received to chair the board of one of South Africa’s largest organisations. It was September 2004 and, since her first board appointment in 1996, she had served on several boards of directors – including boards of some of the biggest companies in the country. By 2004, she chaired the boards of six companies, and sat on the board of another.
Luhabe was acutely aware of the enormous and increasing corporate governance challenges that were now faced by board members. Her workload was already quite heavy, but, at the same time, she might be able to make a contribution and share her experience in the position of chair of this board. Should she accept the offer?
