Praise for Building Better Boards
‘Building Better Boards bridges the gap between talk and action.
A must-read for board members, CEOs, governance experts – really
for anyone who cares about the future of the corporation.’
–Anne M. Mulcahy, chairman and CEO, Xerox Corporation
‘Building Better Boards covers all the key issues facing boards
in the post-Sarbanes-Oxley era. It provides practical advice based
on the authors’ wide-ranging experience with major companies that
have built successful boards.’
–Marty Lipton, Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz
‘This important new book uses concepts gleaned from the
collective wisdom of our Blue Ribbon Commission on Board Leadership
and adds practical, real-world board examples. The section on
crisis management is particularly helpful.’

Corporate Directors
‘This book provides a comprehensive review and effective guide
to making any board an effective team, and thus an asset, for their
company.’
