The Crisis in Our Boardrooms: Developing the Crucial Skills of the Competent Director.
More topical than ever - the definitive bestseller about the crisis in our boardrooms and how to develop the crucial skills of a competent director.
Set against today's backdrop of boardroom scandal and incompetence, an essential book that clarifies the tasks and liabilities of the board and provides a programme of learning. An organisation's success or failure depends on the performance of its board. Yet the majority of directors around the world (92% in Britain) admit that they have had no training and are not sure what it entails.
Bob Garratt, highly respected international management consultant, 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.
Since directors are personally liable for corporate failure, none can afford to ignore this book, the first to clarify this area of strategy.
