Letter from the Editor
Welcome to the first issue of Irish Director in
2011.Aswe go to press, results are in for this year’s General Election, and negotia- tions are under way between Fine Gael and Labour to create a new administra- tion, and a new way forward. Credit rating agencies have become
part of the local lexicon, thanks to their influence on organisations and, indeed, nations. In our cover feature, the BBC’s Joe Lynam asks: who rates the rating
agencies?Meanwhile, Bord naMóna’s CEO Gabriel D’Arcy talks leadership, as well as the sustainable route his organisation has taken in recent years. In The Boardroom we look at how small and family-run businesses can benefit from bringing a non- executive director on-board. Oded Shenkar argues that we must recognise that imitation
is as important as innovation when it comes to business growth, while Henry J Evans explains how a culture of accountability can bring major benefits to your organisation. In Living It, Paolo Tullio looks at the globalisation of grape
varieties, while he also speaks to One Pico’s Eamonn O’Reilly about his expansion plans. Thanks as ever to the IoDmembers and other leaders who have
shared with us their valuable insights. We welcome all feedback and suggestions to
