Product Description

Product Description
Finally, a book that brings the vision of truly good governance down to earth. Ram Charan, expert in corporate governance and best–selling author, packs this book with useful tools and techniques to take boards and their companies to a higher level of performance. Charan puts his finger on a growing problem for boards: the disconnect between directors′ efforts and their results. The added time and attention boards invest is not translating into better governanceâ that is, governance that adds value to the business.

Boards That Deliver gets beyond the rhetoric of corporate governance reform. It captures the tried–and–true practices used by high–performance boards. In contrast to experts who base prescriptions on number–crunching exercises, Charan identifies the real problems that drain directors′ time and suppress their best judgmentsâ and explains clearly and succinctly how boards can solve those problems. These battle–tested solutions help boards achieve what rules and regulations alone cannotâ to get succession right, refine a winning strategy, and design a rational CEO compensation package.

Good governance requires leadership. Boards That Deliver is the no–nonsense guide for directors and CEOs who are rising to the leadership challenge to make their boards a competitive advantage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Insights on board development, 25 April 2008
By Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract.com" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
A spate of high-profile corporate meltdowns ended the days of high-flying CEOs who also ran their companies' boards of directors. Instead, regulators, shareholders and the public now demand that corporate boards oversee CEOs and protect shareholder interests. Ram Charan lays out what your board can do to maximize its positive contributions and add value to the company. His writing is clear and to the point. This book is very helpful for board members who are trying to find their way in the post Sarbanes-Oxley world of corporate governance. Charan provides useful questionnaires to help you analyze the state of your company and its board on several crucial points. getAbstract recommends this book to board members, potential board members, and others who have an interest in modern boards and corporate governance.
