The best boards and CEOs function as a synergistic team, striking an optimal balance between setting and executing organizational policy. This book can help you create that synergy, find that balance and improve communication between the board and the CEO, learn how to brainstorm innovations, change unproductive patterns, and habits, and foster new levels of mutual trust and respect.
Better CEO-Board Relations has gathered 15 of the best recent articles from Trustee magazine, covering the CEO-board life cycle, from CEO recruitment to executive compensation, and addressing communication, leadership and the board chair-CEO relationship along the way. You'll not only benefit from the perspectives of many health care governance and leadership experts, but also find advice that applies to the particular issues and challenges facing your board.
