Summary It is argued that the shift towards more 'independent' directors, in the wake of corporate collapses, is a fundamentally bad move, undermining the rights and powers of minority shareholders - entrenches a second-rate corporate governance model, separation of ownership and control, in company law - rather than suggest cosmetic reform in an attempt to address the problem, it is proposed that all directors must have significant interest in the company they serve - directors' self-interests and the best interests of the company become intertwined - this is a more effective way of tackling the problem of separation of ownership and control
