Choosing the agenda and nominations on a board is crucial as it can be as important as selecting the board chair. Learning from a podcast episode about Bukharan, who Stalin eventually killed, highlighted the importance of understanding the significance of agenda and nominations.

Instead, individuals tend to retain information better through experiential learning methods like reading and participating in seminars.
