The Effective Director - the Essential Guide to Director and Board Development

Kogan Page Ltd, London, ISBN: 9780749435516

Although most directors are experienced, well-qualified managers, many find that when they are appointed to the board there is little guidance available to them about their new role. This volume offers advice on what a board of directors is supposed to do. Using extensive real-life case studies from industry, business and the not-for-profit sectors, the writers show how to develop the director role and improve the working methods of the board as a whole. Quizzes, tick boxes and bullet points appear throughout the text.
