If you've ever walked out of a board meeting wondering why you held it, this book is for you. Make Boards Work is the first book of its kind-transforming your supervisory board from a requirement to something much more vital: a strategic lever of competitive growth. In a world where notions of leadership are being evolved from command and control to inspiration and enablement, board members can become so much more than formal overseers. Marc O. Stöckli takes you on a journey through the behavioral norms, the overall strategies and the individual stratagems necessary to turn your board function into a market differentiator. Whether you are a founder or a family business owner, an investor, a prospective or an experienced board member, the author unveils the values, attitudes, codes and habits that make the difference between checking the boxes and hitting it out of the ballpark. It's time to unleash your board-from statutory to strategic.
