Directors' Dilemmas
You rarely find a good advice book for directors, since publishers presumably believe that its audience would be small and that, in any case, those sitting on corporate boards ought to know what they are doing. But as the infamous debacles at Enron, Tyco, HealthSouth and other companies show, this isn't always the case. getAbstract.com heartily recommends this book to all corporate board members, even those with long experience. Patrick Dunne provides a useful decision-making framework for resolving common problems. It is enhanced by behind-the-scenes case studies that depict a variety of difficult company decisions and how board members arrived at them - helpful for those facing similar crises. After reading this book, you will have only one dilemma left: deciding which of Dunne's solutions to try first.
Boards
Boards provides a practical, realistic, thought-provoking and useful guide to life as a board member. It is split into three areas, Purpose, People and Process reflecting the three key areas of concern for any board. This is combined with the fourth section which sets out a series of real-life dilemmas for readers to practice on, making this book an ideal companion for anyone who is an aspirant, novice or seasoned board member. Drawing on Patricks extensive range of experience working with and on boards in many sectors, in the UK and internationally, it is equally applicable to business, charities and social enterprises, professional services firms, public bodies and universities. The book is also written in a highly accessible and engaging style that brings life and fun to what is a very serious topic. Whats new in the second edition? Firstly, I have gone through every page and updated it, where appropriate, for what might have changed as a result of all of the above. Theres also some new content in a number of areas including Culture, Stakeholder management, Board reviews, smaller listed companies as well as the use of technology.
Running Board Meetings
Greeted with great enthusiasm when it was first published, Patrick Dunne's practical guide continues to provide valuable, step-by-step advice on every aspect of running board meetings. Witty and succinct, it is packed with useful tips and techniques to help anyone ensure they are well prepared and that every board meeting runs smoothly. Topics covered include: seating, the agenda, the role of the chairman, presentations to the board, dealing with disharmony, the minutes and the follow-up procedure. There's also advice on how to deal with those troublesome types such as the 'silent seether', the 'young pretender', and the 'dead hand'. Lively and easy to read, this fully revised and updated new edition is essential reading for anyone who has to run or attend a board meeting.
