Ram Charan's book gives very practical tools for boards of directors for both nonprofit organizations and businesses. His diagnostic survey helps a board evaluate itself in terms of group dynamics, how and what information is conveyed to the board, and the extent to which the board's focus is on substantive issues. This is just one of several detailed suggestions for how a board can be effective, progressive, and a truly meaningful experience. He sets an expectation for boards to evolve from the traditional "ceremonial" role to this progressive one. He also exposes some of the excesses that most boards go through during the transition process. His insight along with the tools he provides makes this book a must-read for everyone who is either on a board of directors or who must regularly relate with one.
