Bertha, what do the strongest boards do differently when it comes to overseeing talent, culture, and leadership from your perspective?
5:10
I think there are two really big differentiators.

One is that they're very future looking.

I think, Blair, you've talked about this in terms of what does our talent strategy need to look like to compete in the future, given artificial intelligence, in terms of looking at how quickly environments are moving.
5:29
