Over the last decade, dramatic changes in how corporations are
led have radically transformed the board and its role in business.
No longer a safe haven for the walnut-paneled aristocracy, today's
board is an autonomous power centre for corporate leadership. How
did this happen, and why? More importantly, how will tomorrow's
boards consolidate their newfound strength to tackle fresh challenges
in the years ahead? 21st Century Corporate Board addresses
these critical questions and more, offering both a masterful analysis
of the forces driving corporate governance and a bold new blueprint
of the structures, tools, and knowledge demanded for the effective
boards of the future. You'll find detailed coverage of all the key
issues in board makeup, pay, and training - from strategic board
recruitment and "pay for performance" to director certification
and high-tech board meetings.
