He should be selected via open competition and therefore professionally, not be overpaid and not need the position for either status or for money. In order to be entirely independent, and perceived to be so, the NED should not possess much equity either, nor be overpaid and not be a former employee or former supplier. Strangely, companies would never really genuinely contemplate appointing a director purely from the ranks of those known CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 25 personally to the company, so why do some still insist in doing so in the case of NED appointments?
There is a need for transparent trust. Or again, any revised numbers given to the bankers need to be realistic and fair. In practice, revised forecasts are often over-optimistic and are given at least three months too late! Usually, there is a four- to six-week critical period between the realisation of a problem of this nature and doing something positive and relevant about it. The NEDs have an especially important role to play in such circumstances, but it is one they often ignore or fluff. They should ask the basic questions, persistently and fearlessly.
The worst mistake is to appoint from a pool where there is no choice; only one candidate, recommended either by the company’s advisers or by a current member of the board. No choice is an unnecessary risk and awkward for the candidate, if appointed, who will then feel beholden to the person who recommended him. It is far wiser in the long term to leave a position vacant rather than fill it with second-best. Wait for the right person. In the meantime, the current talent needs to be managed. Some companies panic in their selection, know their own warts, think they are less attractive as a result and then offer too much money or too generous a remuneration package – one that some candidates feel unable to walk away from and so compromise their independence.
