Download or read book Principled Governance written by David S. Fushtey and published by IAP. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Principled Governance when Everything Matters is an essential handbook for Directors, Managers, Counsellors and Students, indeed for everyone challenged to answer the question: How do we get along? The democratic world has taken half a millennium to shift its governing principle from the power of might to the rule of law. Through centuries of errors (and trials), we have created a framework of regulation, accountability, and oversight, which, though now widely practiced, is still poorly understood. Principled Governance when Everything Matters is a guided tour of the field, led by an expert who spent three decades at boardroom and council tables, advising directors and managers in business and civil society. This accessible volume will be invaluable to all practioners providing context and analysis that will help them better understand their responsibilities and execute their duties. Principled Governance is based on David S. Fushtey’s comprehensive academic text The Director and Manager: Law and Governance in a Digital Age – Machiavelli Had It Easy. That 1000-page volume has been reviewed and revised by a team of subject-area experts, who have drawn out the most useful, relevant – often crucial - lessons. The result is an engaging guide for students of business, civil society, and law, and for the continuing education of directors and the executives who advise them. Endorsements for Principled Governance When Everything Matters: "In this short but idea-filled work, Fushtey argues for a re-think of how we understand and do ‘governance.’ In our digital age, where “everything matters,” governance requires both broad inputs and a recognition of wide implications. We must respect complexity and embrace ambiguity. Good decisions depend upon a diversity of perspectives and hard-edged questioning. Fushtey demands humility and civility in decision-making, but in tough-minded ways. Above all, Fushtey urges, effective governance is about openness to learning. That openness demands attention to the qualities of process, of individual behaviour and of information. An immensely practical work, this book is also an ethical challenge and a work replete with human decency." Stephen J. Toope, University of Cambridge "This succinct distillation of David Fushtey’s extensive academic work will benefit practitioners of governance at all levels. The twelve essential principles he sets out are sensible and actionable." Suromitra Sanatani Independent Director "Principled Governance when Everything Matters is one of those rare business books that combines solid academic research with practical experience and relevant examples from the business and political world. Fushtey demonstrates a mastery of several disciplines, and an ability to distill it all down into practical advice that directors and others in similar roles can put to immediate use." Karl Moore McGill University

Download or read book Governing by Principles written by Eric Craymer and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are lots of books and articles on governance in general. Many can be helpful, but few, maybe very few, actually show or explain a cohesive and comprehensive system of governance. Without a unified and encompassing system, boards will never be able to maximize their contribution to the organization and its purpose for existence. The purpose of this book is to make sure that they can.There is only one system that we have found which does address the above problem. That system is Policy Governance®.If you are on a Policy Governance board or any other type of board, this book will empower your governing.Based on input from multiple boards and ten's, and possibly more than a hundred, training sessions with boards we have determined that Policy Governance concepts make a positive change in a board's impact and that two specific insights can amplify that impact: 1.To understand and maximize the system's benefits, a board must deeply understand the principles of the system, the implications of those principles and their "1+1=5" synergy when used as a set.2.For a governing board to sustain this particular system, it needs to own it. The model must be truly owned by the board, using both ongoing study and diligence. It must become the board's culture, not just its governing system. This book will provide insight into the importance of the principles, their synergies as a whole, and, ultimately, amplifying the board's value and empowering the organization's purpose.
