Wise Counsel: Meet the SC Johnson Board of Directors

As a private, family company, SC Johnson is not required to have a Board of Directors guiding its operations. But ask anyone at any company, large or small, and they will tell you that occasionally, counsel from experts outside the management structure can provide helpful insight and support.
 
Sam Johnson, fourth-generation leader of SC Johnson, explained it like this: “To be successful as the head of an enterprise, you do not necessarily have to be the brightest in all aspects of the operation, but you have to be certain you get the best available advice.”
 
We call it “wise counsel”. Here is a look at SC Johnson’s current Board of Directors.
