For over a decade Boards that Make a Difference has set the standard for those who want to bring their boards and their organizations to a higher level of performance. John Carver's revolutionary Policy Governance Model changes the way boards work.

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 revised and updated third edition, Carver continues to debunk the entrenched beliefs and habits that hobble boards and replace them with his innovative approach to effective governance. This proven model offers an empowering and fundamental redesign of the board role and emphasizes values, vision, empowerment of both the board and staff, and strategic ability to lead leaders.

Policy Governance gives board members and staff a new approach to board job design, board-staff relationships, the role of the chief executive, performance monitoring, and virtually every aspect of the board-management relationship. This latest edition has been updated and expanded to include explanatory diagrams that have been used by thousands of Carver's seminar participants. It also contains illustrative examples of Policy Governance model policies that have been created by real-world organizations.

In addition, this third edition of Boards That Make a Difference includes a new chapter on model criticisms and the challenges of governance research.
