The role of the company board, the CEO, and the Chairman are
critical to establishing a positive leadership culture in any
organization. At a time when leadership failure at board level has
been headline news and when in a period of economic stress
corporations are under great pressure to create shareholder as well
as wider social value, strong and effective leadership from the
boardroom is more essential than ever.
Based on interviews with over 60 chairmen and CEOs from leading
multinationals such as Volvo, e-Bay, Tesco, Goldman Sachs, UBS, and
Unilever, the author looks at bad boardroom behavior and explains
how real and effective changes can be made to improve the workings
of the board. This rare access gave author Ulf Lindgren unique
insight into the current workings of some of the world's most
influential boardrooms and a real sense of how boards might perform
more effectively, based on a strong consensus of views from the
chairmen and CEOs he interviewed.
The author draws out a number of conclusions from the interviews,
which he sums up into 4 key values that today's boards should hold:
1. The board should take an active role in strategy, push for
innovation, and boost peak performance of the corporation.
2. The board members should be recruited to match the specific
needs of the corporation.
3. The board should act as One Team and its chairman should be a
strong leader who's selection should be based on superior
competence
4. For best efficiency there should be a complementary chairman/CEO
"tandem at the top."
