From the publisher

"Didier Cossin's High Performance Boards covers aspects of culture and organisational design that are foundational to any successful institution. This comprehensive study captures real-world insights on quality governance and effective leadership. It connects his four- pillar methodology for gauging and improving board effectiveness, learning from both failure and success and boardroom best practice. It is a valuable tool for present and future directors."
--Mark Tucker, Group Chairman of HSBC Holdings plc

"Recent developments in the financial services industry dramatically illustrate the intimate link between good governance and a company's success or failure, particularly in times of crisis. In his latest book, Didier Cossin sheds light on the design principles and practice that underpin good governance. A catchy and comprehensive textbook for those in charge!"
--Sergio Ermotti, Group CEO and President of the Executive Board of UBS AG

The most up-to-date version of the gold standard in board governance

In the newly revised second edition of High Performance Boards: A Practical Guide to Improving & Energizing your Governance, author Didier Cossin delivers an incisive and practical roadmap to board governance best-practices. Accessible to professionals from a variety of backgrounds, the book lays out the foundational and advanced concepts you'll need to understand to effectively govern a for-profit firm, non-profit, or government entity.

You'll learn to manage risk, increase the impact of your board, consider and evaluate the importance of ESG metrics, take into account geopolitics, and supervise your organization's culture. You'll also discover:

  • Extensive revisions to existing chapters, including new methods of cyber-risk management and stakeholder management
  • Strategies for avoiding the common pitfall of 'greenwashing'
  • Increasingly common new activism techniques undertaken by boards and investors to shape the behaviour of organizations

An indispensable resource for board members and directors serving on boards at organizations of all kinds, High Performance Boards will also earn a place on the bookshelves of corporate lawyers, board secretaries, and students of corporate governance.
