Praise for "The Imperfect Board Member"
"Finally! A book about boards that isn't boring!"
--Patrick Lencioni, author, "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team"
"Everyone wins with good governance--countries, corporations,
and community groups. In a compelling style like no one before him,
Jim Brown helps leaders understand the keys for boardroom
excellence. "The Imperfect Board Member" ought to be required
reading for people on every type of board. The great thing is that
it won't need to be required--it's such a fun book, every leader
will want to read it."
--Jim Balsillie, chairman and co-CEO, Research in Motion; chair,
Centre for International Governance Innovation
"I know no board members, myself included, who won't learn
valuable lessons from Jim Brown's book The Imperfect Board Member.
Don't miss it!"
--Ken Blanchard, coauthor, "The One-Minute Manager(R) and The
Secret"
"Thanks to Sarbanes-Oxley, boards have become active. "The
Imperfect Board Member" clarifies sharply the lines of what boards
need to do and what management needs to do. The time has come for
the two groups to work together and yet keep independent."
--Ram Charan, coauthor, Execution, and author, "Boards That
Deliver"
""The Imperfect Board Member" by Jim Brown is a highly
perceptive, eminently readable, engagingly human book on how boards
and directors can improve their performance. In a breezy
conversational style that uses dialogue invitingly and often, the
author explores with sensitivity and a light touch not only the
standard ingredients but also the more subtle nuances of excellence
in both corporate and not-for-profit governance."
--William A. Dimma, author, "Tougher Boardsfor Tougher Times";
chairman, Home Capital Group Inc.
