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.
