The Imperfect Board
Governance Emails by Jim Brown
The author of the governance best-seller The Imperfect Board Member brings reflections, mini-fables, tips, and real-life scenarios to other imperfect board members out there who are courageously working to help their boards move forward. Governance excellence, chairing, board culture, board-CEO relationship, staying out of operations but engaged in the organization's direction... These are real conversations about what makes boards work (and what holds them back).
