Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is your firm’s board creating value—or destroying it? Change is coming. Leadership at the top is being redefined as boards take a more active role in decisions that once belonged solely to the CEO. But for all the advantages of increased board engagement, it can create debilitating questions of authority and dangerous meddling in day-to-day operations. Directors need a new road map—for when to lead, when to partner, and when to stay out of the way. Boardroom veterans Ram Charan, Dennis Carey, and Michael Useem advocate this new governance model—a sharp departure from what has been demanded by governance activists, raters, and regulators—and reveal the emerging practices that are defining shared leadership of directors and executives. Based on personal interviews and the authors’ broad and deep experience working with executives and directors from dozens of the world’s largest firms, including Apple, Boeing, Ford, Infosys, and Lenovo, Boards That Lead tells the inside story behind the successes and pitfalls of this new leadership model and explains how to: • Define the central idea of the company • Ensure that the right CEO is in place and potential successors are identified • Recruit directors who add value • Root out board dysfunction • Select a board leader who deftly bridges the divide between management and the board • Set a high bar on ethics and risk With a total of eighteen checklists that will transform board directors from monitors to leaders, Charan, Carey, and Useem provide a smart and practical guide for businesspeople everywhere—whether they occupy the boardroom or the C-suite.

Download or read book Corporate Governance DNA written by Don Hathaway and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2023-10-19 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate Governance DNA – a Primer for Corporate Directors is a book of practical advice and guidance for directors and boards of corporations. While the rules and regulations outline director obligations, they do not address the infinite variety of situations facing corporations as they evolve. The foundation of a director’s legal obligations rests on their duty of care, their fiduciary duty, and their obligation to ensure that the corporation managed for its purpose. In addition to these obligations, boards are now involved with strategy, risk monitoring, as well as performance oversight, ESG reporting, cyber security, and the oversight of culture. This book offers ways to prepare for the important conversations and decisions each director must participate in. The authors offer practical suggestions to help new and experienced directors of public, not for profit and private corporations engage in these ever-expanding obligations. The book is strewn with case studies, examples, practices, and lists of questions to encourage thought and debate. It is styled as a primer for individual directors, board committees and the full board in the pursuit of best practices in corporate governance.
