Ebook: The board book: an insider's guide for directors and trustees

"In an accessible and conversational style, Bowen offers recommendations on the ideal relationship between the CEO or president and the board, including the issues associated with the separate chairman and lead director models, as well as the size of pay packages and perks. He also covers the delicate topics of CEO evaluation; succession planning and the proper use of search firms, while offering practical advice on how to "build" and maintain boards; the use of committees; and the handling of conflicts and "leaks.""--Jacket.
