"This book is a most important contribution for both new and
experienced directors, addressing contemporary corporate
governance. The 14 practical questions represent the most vital
issues that boards need to proactively address and are particularly
crucial now as boards deal with the aftermath of the global
financial tsunami."
--Thomas J. Neff, chairman, U.S., Spencer Stuart
"If Corporate America's board members had answered these
questions, the crisis of '08 would have been avoided. The book is
that powerful. It should be required reading in every boardroom,
executive suite, and business school on the planet. This book with
its singular wisdom could change the face of corporate
governance--with huge dividends to shareholders and society."
--Ralph Whitworth, principal, Relational Investors LLC
"Ram Charan always seems to get it right. "Owning Up" not only
asks the right questions, it gives answers that can make a real
difference for improving board performance."
--James M. Kilts, former chairman and CEO, The Gillette Company
"As always, well-reasoned, insightful, and thought-provoking. A
work that every director will find of value, particularly given the
intense pressure of these unprecedented economic times."
--Professor Charles M. Elson, director of the John L. Weinberg
Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware
"Here is the book that every corporate director needs today.
With his decades of insider experience, Ram Charan brings more
wisdom and insight to this subject than anyone else I know."
--Geoff Colvin, Fortune editor and author, "Talent Is Overrated:
What Really Separates World-Class Performers from Everybody
Else"
