Boardroom Excellence : A Common Sense Perspective on Corporate Governance
Editorial Reviews
Review
“Paul Brountas’s book on corporate governance is an outstanding and welcome achievement. For those who serve as directors and those who aspire to become directors, his book provides an insightful, easy-to-read, commonsense guide to creating and maintaining excellence in America’s boardrooms.”--Raymond S. Troubh, recipient of the National Association of Corporate Directors 2003 Director of the Year Award
“Boardroom Excellence is a must-read for corporate management and directors, particularly in today’s business climate. It is well written, well organized, and specifically instructional. The quality of the observations and authority of the author add importance to its value.” --William Elfers, founder, Greylock Partners
“Frankly I shudder when I see an article or book with the term ‘governance’ anywhere in the title or subtitle. I think that Paul Brountas has achieved three rarities: Wisdom--there is a style that condemns nobody, but which politely suggests situations in which one might pay attention; Literacy--short sentences, brief paragraphs, and well-defined separate chapters; But above all else--charm. This is not pompous, it is not preachy, it is not from ‘on high.’ ”--Robert A.G. Monks, founder of Hermes Lens Investments and Institutional Shareholder Services; cofounder of The Corporate Library
