<br/><br/> In the wake of several large corporate financial scandals this book calls for the reassertion of basic principles of good governance: accountability, probity, and transparency. Argues too much attention is given to high-profile CEOs and too little to boards of directors. There is fundamental difference between managing and directing, and too many orgainzations are over-managed and under-directed. Calls for boards to become learning bodies and for the professionalisation of their functions.
