Reseña del libro "The Right Ones? (en Inglés)"
Who sits around the board table determines the fate of enterprises, associations, organizations, and economies. The CEOs and General Managers may be the more visible stars, but those who coach, oversee, appoint, and dismiss them much less so. Yet the process by which these highly qualified people are identified, attracted, appointed, and evaluated, remains one of corporate governance's least examined disciplines.'The Rights Ones? Reflections on Board Nominations for a New Era' is authoritative guide, exploring the role of board nominations, remunerations, and governance committees. The work done by those serving on this bodies is some of the most consequential forces in modern governance. It comes with significant impact over power distribution and is much more than just a mechanism for filling vacancies. This work is about curating leadership, which in turn will be crafting strategy, managing risks, and establishing culture. The challenge of these directors, an optimal blend of competence, judgment, and independence, which a board needs for the enterprise to thrive.Drawing on the multiple governance models - examining practices across Continental Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States - this book provides a rigorous framework for evaluating sitting boards and entity needs, identifying talents, designing compensation board director models, preparing proposals for adoption by shareholders and other board members, as well as dealing with some potential issues along the way.It is an indispensable resource for anyone involved at a board level, those entrusted with searching and attracting board directors, investment managers engaged in stewardship, governance academics, and policy makers.Entities' chances of success is not only a matter of its purpose and solution ideas and people in general but depends largely also on having the right people at the top. Excellent boards are composed with intentional design and 'The Right Ones?' explains how this can efficiently be done, within the framework of various governance models.
