Compliance (or tasks imposed by outsiders) predominates in most of the current press debate on corporate governance. There is little discussion or advice on how boards can proactively avert disasters like Boo.com or HIH Insurance, let alone add significant value to to the companies they govern.
Corporate governance demands an increased focus on the leadership role of the board, the CEO and the directors and the call for these to be more accountable for their own performance is a growing global trend. Board, Director and CEO Evaluation helps to implement the recommendations for evaluation that have been included in almost every major corporate governance review or report.
This practical guide is based on the authors' extensive research and consulting experience and provides the information necessary to carry out board, director or CEO evaluations. The authors discuss current thinking in best practice corporate governance and outline the benefits of evaluation. An essential tool for any organisation, Board Director and CEO Evaluation uses diagrams, checklists and practical examples to illustrate key concepts and include questionaires to evaluate the performance of boards, committees, directors and CEOs. |
