Items related to The Fish Rots from the Head
Set against today’s backdrop of boardroom scandal and incompetence, an important book that clarifies the tasks and liabilities of the board and provides a programme of learning.
An organization’s success or failure depends on the performance of its board. Yet the majority of directors around the world (92% in Britain) admit that they have had no training for their role and are not sure what it entails.
The Cadbury and Greenbury reports have highlighted the problems this causes, but there has been little published to help the director understand exactly what is demanded of his role, or to achieve the levels of skill and competence required – until now.
Bob Garratt, highly respected international management consultant, describes why directors need to move on from hands-on managing and develop a broader, more intellectual mindset – and explains how, in a practical way, they can achieve this.
Since directors are personally liable for corporate failure, none can afford to ignore this book, the first to clarify this area of strategy.
