Description
The Fish Rots from the Head: Developing Effective Boards The importance of effective corporate governance cannot be overstated. As a Chinese proverb warns, the buck starts and stops in the boardroom. This updated edition of Bob Garratt's book highlights the need for strong governance and has been extensively revised in response to recent corporate scandals and the global financial crisis. The Learning Board model, developed by the author, is now widely used internationally by corporations and public sector organisations. The book provides a thought-provoking and practical guide for those responsible for corporate governance, as well as those who subject them to scrutiny. With its focus on developing effective boards, this book is essential reading for anyone looking to improve their organisation's governance. A key work in this field, it remains a vital resource for anyone seeking to understand the importance of effective corporate governance.
