The new chair of the board of NLInvest, a government agency that promotes inward investment to the Netherlands, faces challenges that are both expected and unexpected. The agency’s domineering CEO treats the board purely as his ‘advisors’ and many directors who admire his strong performance record and international reputation seem to accept this. The chair decides to employ a ‘gradual transformation strategy’, but the sudden discovery of irregularities that happened before his arrival calls for a more proactive approach.
