Summary:

"The author delivers on his goal of providing a quick, easily read, plain-language overview of basic board mission and action.' The book is chock full of practical nuggets on the board's relation to the chief executive, including three key exhibits: Twenty Tips for Effective Interviews, Twenty-One Good Interview Questions, and Checklist for the Termination Decision Process. There are also informative sections on long-range planning, marketing, commercial ventures, applying for grants, taxes and legal matters, and the use of outside consultants. . . . Waldo stands out among writers on governing boards in stating clearly that unpaid, part-time trustee-directors can't be counted on to provide the matrix of behavioral cues we call organizational leadership."
