About the Book

What do boards do well?
How can they improve?
What can directors teach us about board effectiveness and culture?


Dramatised and parodied in popular culture, the board room is a mystical cauldron in which the fortunes of companies and the futures of their employees are decreed. Its secret goings-on determine whether we have jobs and drive the success of our economy.

Board directors carry a weighty responsibility for delivering strategy, control and advice. Summarising and synthesising the experiences of some 50 experienced directors, this book distils their wisdom and shows what we can strive for to achieve the best of culture and effectiveness in company board rooms. Invaluable insights for new, aspiring and experienced directors alike.

"Jenny's understanding of hybrid working brings board effectiveness up to date. Full of top tips"

"A cracking book for boards which thrive on continual improvement. Full of tried-and-tested tips on how to build, evolve and get the best out of multi-disciplinary boards. I doubt there is a motivated board or chair out there that couldn't find something new to try in the spirit of making a positive difference"
Calum Cooper - Chair of Partnership Council, Hymans Robertson

A thought-provoking and enjoyable read - with plenty of insights to reflect upon for anyone interested in improving their performance at Board level"
