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.
