Chairing the Board

de John Harper

A competent chairman must perform a huge range of activities and responsibilities. There are many issues to be considered and skills to be mastered, from keeping the board focussed on its proper tasks and managing relationships and politics, to running meetings well and improving board performance. Chairing the Board draws on contributions from chairmen, from both the commercial and non-commercial sectors. It is a vital reference source for anyone interested in examining the potential range of his or her activities in chairing a board and achieving improved levels of competence in the role.
