At a time of global business crisis, U.S. corporate boards must now meet without their CEOs; key committees have tough new independence rules; and all board members now face an unavoidable legal responsibility for truly independent oversight. The result -- an urgent demand that corporate boards for the first time develop their own leaders from within. Ralph Ward's new book The New Boardroom Leaders explains how.

• -How do CEOs and the new board leaders divide their roles?


• -When is a "separate" chair not an "independent" chair?


• -What happens when boards meet without the CEO?


• -What should a lead director's job description include?


• -How much power should a separate board leader really have?

The New Boardroom Leaders give you the first inside look at how board leaders actually do their jobs, based on extensive interviews and research. This is practical advice from real board leaders on what works in their boardrooms, what doesn't, and what they expect in the future. To order, just follow the Amazon link below...
