The primary purpose of a NED is to bring objective scrutiny on behalf of the shareholders. To perform the role effectively they must have three core characteristics:-

• Independence

• Courage

• Integrity

The best NEDs are reflective and thoughtful in their approach, ask the hard questions and offer considered advice based on sound judgement.
