Corporate Boards That Create Value

Applying the highly successful Policy Governance model to corporate boards, this title explains the world's only conceptually coherent operating system for boards. This simple yet profound system clarifies roles, empowers directors and senior management alike, and makes accountability feasible to a previously unattainable degree.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description
In this work, John Carver and Caroline Oliver apply Carver's successful Policy Governance model to the governing of for-profit organizations. While most books on corporate governance focus on adding value to management, Carver reveals that board authority comes from one source - shareholders - therefore all board activities should be devoted to setting policy rules that answer to shareholders wishes.
