Synopsis

Although most directors are experienced, well-qualified managers, many find that when they are appointed to the board there is little guidance available to them about their new role. This volume offers advice on what a board of directors is supposed to do. Using extensive real-life case studies from industry, business and the not-for-profit sectors, the writers show how to develop the director role and improve the working methods of the board as a whole. Quizzes, tick boxes and bullet points appear throughout the text.

Media Reviews
Becoming a company director is a bit like becoming a parent. Very little of your previous existence prepares you for the task. But whether it's your first or just your latest and you are merely scratching your head for inspiration, look no further. This book provides comprehensive guidance on how to stay on top of the slippery pole on which you sit. -- Chris Mellor, Chief Executive, AWG PLC (Formerly Anglia Water)
