This book takes the central issues facing board members today and
applies the giving voice to values framework while also providing
insights from practicing board members who have faced these issues.
It covers such topics as strategic planning and monitoring,
director independence, privacy and cyber risk, executive
compensation and CEO succession planning. With this book, readers
will also grapple with the conflicts of interest that might arise
in the director selection process, role of the nominating committee
and the compensation committee in order to cultivate more optimal
board dynamics. The principles of giving voice to values start by
asking a deceptively simple question: 'What if you were going to
act on your values-what would you say and do?' The book then
provides an overview of the current landscape of corporate
governance along with the major rules and director duties
applicable to the board of directors. The book's latter chapters
contain a series of five scenarios common to the board of directors
that are presented as a set of "Board Challenges" involving the
tensions often found in board work. In Giving Voice to Values in
the Boardroom, the author, Cynthia E. Clark, provides practical
strategies for board members and other constituents of corporate
governance to deal with these challenges. These cases are designed
to help users of the book implement prescripting and action
planning. Each case will also have discussion questions about the
stakes and stakeholders, common reasons and rationalizations and
examples of how firms and governance professionals have handled
similar board challenges.
