Boards At Work
Boards at Work is a timely new book that takes an eye-opening look at how many boards are transcending tradition by becoming dynamic partners in corporate governance. It also shows CEOs how they can go about tapping the vast storehouse of experience and wisdom a board's membership represents. Filled with specific instructions and strategies, Fortune 500 examples, and real-time tools for initiating board transformations, Boards At Work takes readers to the front lines of the American board revolution.
"In this book, Ram Charan confronts the critical issues faced by the boards of directors of publicly-traded companies in a way only he can. His valuable views and opinions come from years of consulting with some of America's best-known and most successful chairmen and CEOs, who also share their direct insights on the most controversial of topics. More than a good book on management, this is a reference to be used over and over again."
— Jerome Meyer, chairman and CEO, Tektronix Inc., and director of AMP
"Ram Charan is a wise counselor and keen observer on the front lines of the American board revolution. Boards At Work is a rare blend of candid stories of casualties, of victories, and of sound ideas for change illustrated with real-world examples of how to adopt them."
— William Adams, director, Bell Atlantic and other boards
