In-house recruitment of directors
Because the response from outside the company to Cybozu's decision to recruit internally for the board of directors has been greater than expected, I have summarized the background in a NOTE.
Here's some background on this internal call for board members and the 17 that were approved~.
Please refer to this area as well!
What Cybozu wants to do is to prove that with thorough information sharing using groupware, corporate governance can be effective even without the function of directors.
And we are working on it because we believe it will make us more productive and our employees happier.
A good organization. He pointed out that the word "director" in the world often means one of the following two things, but not for Cybozu's publicly recruited directors.
① Directors as experts in management skills
2) Directors as Elders in the Internal Order
Concerns about decision-making delays and bias due to more directors
In this regard, Cybozu's culture is not "quit because it's risky," but "[If you try it and the problem becomes apparent, you can stop.
Personally, I'm of the school of thought that it's a great buzz in the world, but it's not the type of experiment that can do much damage to a business, so it's low risk and why not give it a try?
The benefits are not so clear-cut, either.
