About the Book

Boards provides a practical, realistic, thought-provoking and useful guide to life as a board member. It is split into three areas, Purpose, People and Process reflecting the three key areas of concern for any board. This is combined with the fourth section which sets out a series of real-life dilemmas for readers to practice on, making this book an ideal companion for anyone who is an aspirant, novice or seasoned board member. Drawing on Patricks extensive range of experience working with and on boards in many sectors, in the UK and internationally, it is equally applicable to business, charities and social enterprises, professional services firms, public bodies and universities. The book is also written in a highly accessible and engaging style that brings life and fun to what is a very serious topic. Whats new in the second edition? Firstly, I have gone through every page and updated it, where appropriate, for what might have changed as a result of all of the above. Theres also some new content in a number of areas including Culture, Stakeholder management, Board reviews, smaller listed companies as well as the use of technology.

Review :
Very readable, easy to dip into for specific advice and comments on particular issues. A reference book that should stand the test of time. -- Bruce Carnegie-Brown, Chair of Lloyds of London Patrick has covered all of the bases in boards from the how and why to very practical areas that arent usually examined in such depth in the People and Dilemmas sections. Its a fascinating read and an invaluable reference for anyone involved in working with boards. Its the best book on boards Ive ever read. -- Brenda Trenowden CBE, Global co-Chair 30% Club, PwC Partner Hugely readable and full of wise counsel. Patrick Dunne brings to life an important topic for all who serve on boards, from the smallest charity to the biggest corporate titan. A vital read for anyone starting a career in the boardroom. -- Martin Webster, Partner, Pinsent Masons I would commend this book to all entrepreneurs, directors and anyone who wants to one day help lead an organisation. If you dont understand how governance and boards work you will never be effective. This immensely practical guide, explains how it all works, is littered with great guidance and will enable you to be a wiser and better director. A must read, one to put on the top of your reading list. -- John Jeffcock, CEO Winmark
