The Art of Good Governance

Description

These seven rules are gold. There is no eighth rule, but you can’t get by on six.

For a board to bring foresight and insight, what facets of wisdom and experience are needed? How should new members be selected? How will theological integrity and financial integrity be guarded? How does the board best work in partnership with the CEO and senior team?

To our knowledge, this is the only handbook to do its job.

Advice on setting agendas, conducting discussion, handling major issues. It will help both board and senior staff better understand their roles, and their expectations of each other. It is priced so that each member ion the board and senior staff can each have a copy.

’This little gem is full of seasoned wisdom. It is brief, sane and practical.’ Charles Clayton (Oxford Leaders) from the Foreword.
