A key role towards the realization of an effective board is placed on the Board Chairman. However, the Chairman doesn't act alone, and requires the support and complementary skills of the other board members. Leading an Effective Board examines the various dynamics and bottlenecks in the board's governance cycle, with an intent to guide both board chairman and board of directors.
The book analyses the quadrant model of key elements of an effective board: the role of the chairman in succession planning; board performance and assessment with the ultimate aim of creating an effective Board chairman's role. The Society for Corporate Governance Nigeria has put together a concise compendium with useful appendices on the leadership of the board, its intrinsic link with governance, board composition, structure, and effectiveness. The book champions good practice and the various in-depth analysis act as a launching pad for new thinking and offer useful ideas for making improvements in the ever changing business environment.
