The Effective Board is a best practice guide for improving your personal effectiveness and that of the board on which you serve - whether it's for a FTSE company, a small business, a public sector body or a board of trustees. Using case studies and research from the Institute of Directors it provides you with useful insights into the workings of an effective board and the real importance and benefits of good governance.
Dealing with core issues such as the role of the board and the duties of directors, the book moves onto more practical topics such as building effectiveness, leadership and using existing talent to deliver extra competitive value. Special chapters focus on the very latest areas of concern - including NHS Foundation Trusts and the challenges they present for directors; the lessons that directors can learn from the credit crunch of 2008-09; and current issues involving sustainability, risk management and the pensions crisis.
With particular reference to small businesses, the Not-for-Profit sector, and ethics and values, The Effective Board will help you to review and improve your own performance, and respond to the governance challenges in your organization.
Neville Bain has extensive experience at board level. He was Group Strategy Director and later Deputy Group Chief Executive and Finance Director at Cadbury Schweppes in London.

Recently he has been undertaking a portfolio career of non-executive roles and establishing smaller businesses, or investing and serving on medium sized companies.
He has been non executive director of Safeway, Scottish & Newcastle, Royal Mail Group (chairman), SHL (chairman), Biocon, and Hogg Robinson Group (chairman). He is also chairman of the Institute of Directors and the author of Successful Management, Winning Ways through Corporate Governance, and The People Advantage.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
