À propos de la quatrième de couverture

'Exactly what any prospective-or sitting-board member needs to understand the true rigors and realities of board life' Arianna Huffington, Founder & CEO, Thrive Global, and former Uber board member


'A must-read for any board that wants to excel and have an impact today' Dan Loeb, Founder & CEO, Thirdpoint, and former Sothebys board member


Corporate boards are under immense pressure. Scandals and malpractice at companies like GE, Theranos and WeWork have raised justified concerns among regulators, shareholders and the public about the quality of corporate governance. Questions of climate change, racial and gender equality, data privacy, and other social issues grow increasingly loud, and range far beyond their traditional mandate: choosing the CEO and endorsing corporate strategy.


In How Boards Work, prizewinning economist, veteran board director, and bestselling author Dambisa Moyo offers an insider's view of corporate boards as they are buffeted by the turbulence of our times. Drawing on her decade of experience serving on corporate boards, Moyo lays out what it is that boards actually do, and outlines how they must adapt to survive a new era.
