Reflections of happier times: in March 2010, the correspondent of the Economic Times of India took tea with Lord Patten of Barnes in the Sea Lounge of the Taj in Mumbai. The good Lord was sporting a baseball cap emblazoned "Member of the Board: Russell Reynolds Associates".
Christopher revealed that RRA first approached him some years ago on behalf of Bridgepoint Capital, a private equity firm that was searching for eminent people to join its Board. Patten took the assignment and soon after, when RRA invited him to join its own Board, he saw no reason to decline. How did he see head-hunting in the noble profession rankings? "Above politics, certainly ," says Patten. "But below cricket."
After the events of 2012, it may be time for lordly reflection.
