I’ve only been in a Fortune 500 boardroom once. The boardroom table itself was a gorgeous mahogany table that seated 60 people. In contrast, my favorite boardroom belonged to a clothing retail chain in California during the Great Recession of 2008. The “boardroom” was in the company’s inventory warehouse.
