Recommendation

One common thread has connected the companies involved in the recent spate of high-profile corporate bankruptcies and scandals: The failure of boards of directors to control management. John Carver, an international consultant on corporate governance, explains the role of the board of directors and defines the proper relationship between the board and top management. To summarize: The board commands; management obeys. Since this is all too often not the case, getAbstract.com strongly recommends that everyone in business read this book for its essential advice on strengthening the authority and accountability of corporate boards of directors.

Take-Aways

  • Corporate boards of directors are part of ownership, not management.
  • The board is the agent of the owners that exercises control over management.
  • The job of the board is to command, not to advise.
