    text: 'Welcome back to the LinkPress podcast. I'm joined today by Dr. Priya Nair, a former strategy partner at Oliver Wyman and one of the sharper thinkers on corporate governance I've come across. Priya, thanks for making the time.'
  - speaker: 'Dr. Priya Nair'
    timestamp: '00:00:28'
    text: 'Happy to be here. Governance is one of those topics that sounds dry until something goes badly wrong, and then everyone wants to understand it very quickly.'
  - speaker: 'Mithun Sridharan'
    timestamp: '00:00:38'
    text: 'That's the perfect segue. I want to start with what I'm calling the board room blind spot — this pattern where boards of well-governed companies miss early warning signals that, in hindsight, seem obvious. What's driving that?'
  - speaker: 'Dr. Priya Nair'
    timestamp: '00:00:55'
    text: "There are two forces at work. The first is what I call the information paradox: boards receive enormous volumes of management reporting — hundreds of pages of board packs — and that volume itself becomes a shield. When you're given 300 pages, you can't possibly read it all, so you read the executive summary and the dashboards. And the executive summary is written by the people whose performance you're supposed to be evaluating. The second force is social dynamics. Boards are cohesive groups. There are implicit norms about the questions you ask and the ones you don't. A non-executive who consistently raises uncomfortable questions finds themselves quietly excluded from the inner circle."
