What can directors teach us about board effectiveness and culture?
Dramatised and parodied in popular culture, the board room is a mystical cauldron in which the fortunes of companies and the futures of their employees are decreed. Its secret goings-on determine whether we have jobs and drive the success of our economy.
Board directors carry a weighty responsibility for delivering strategy, control and advice. Summarising and synthesising the experiences of some 50 experienced directors, this book distils their wisdom and shows what we can strive for to achieve the best of culture and effectiveness in company board rooms. Invaluable insights for new, aspiring and experienced directors alike.
