Two features distinguish Tony Manera's “EFFECTIVE GOVERNANCE FOR THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY” from other works. The first is its concise presentation of the “nuts and bolts” of governance, which will appeal to busy people who don't have the time nor the need to read lengthy texts. Topics such as board composition, conflict of interest, strategy development and board-management relationships are covered.
