Praise for SURVIVING AND THRIVING IN UNCERTAINTY
"The financial crisis prompted too many observers to conclude that corporate risk is fundamentally ungovernable. They need to read Funston and Wagner. Surviving and Thriving in Uncertainty is an urgent, practical road map that shows boards, executives, and investors that it is not only possible, but necessary, to keep risk under constant watch and control."
--Stephen Davis, Executive Director, Millstein Center for Corporate Governance and Performance, Yale School of Management
"Surviving and Thriving in Uncertainty is must reading for executives and organizations hoping to prosper in tough times. Interesting and provocative, this book clearly demonstrates that while effective market transparency and oversight are important, we must also restore responsible risk-taking in order to power our enterprise economy forward."
--Thomas J. Donohue, President and CEO, U.S. Chamber of Commerce
"Too many current boards ignored their risk-oversight responsibilities to the detriment of their shareholders and the economy. While it is management's duty to set the enterprise's risk appetite and tolerance, these measures ultimately must be approved by the board. The authors offer boards the voices of experienced directors, along with their wisdom and practical advice, on implementing this most challenging of board responsibilities."
--Ira M. Millstein, Senior Partner, Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP
