Description

Set against today's backdrop of boardroom scandal and incompetence, this work clarifies the tasks and liabilities of the board and provides a programme of learning. An organization's success depends on the performance of its board. Yet the majority of director's around the world (92% in Britain) admit they have had no training for their role and are not sure what it entails. This guide describes why directors need to move on from hands-on managing and develop a broader, more intellectual mindset - and explains how, in a practical way, they can achieve this. - from Amzon
