Corporate Governance is the hot topic of the new millennium. Gone
are the days when CEOs set agendas and earned 500 times more than
average employees. Now, transparency rules. Corporations must
establish new systems of accountability, and encourage long-term
participation in decision-making by both shareholders and staff.
Those that succeed will be better equipped to create wealth, solve
complex problems, and compete in global markets.
The role of the directorate and the need to ensure an effective
framework for its accountability to owners is paramount to success.
In line with this thinking, Mastering Global Corporate Governance
argues that one of the key responsibilities of the Board is
leadership, and that the root of good corporate governance lies in
the strength of a corporate leader. In particular, it focuses on
two 'burning issues’ for senior executives: how can the boards of
global companies best lead their companies through the fundamental
dilemmas that face all boards?; and how can Boards, entrusted with
ultimate responsibility for the way a company exercises leadership,
provide that leadership?
