Leading a Board provides highly relevant insights on dealing with challenges every chairman faces. Dr. Andreas Jacobs, Chairman of INSEAD Board, Member of Jacobs Holding AG Board An insightful, well-researched and crafted book, which demystifies the practice and art of good Chairmanship. —Helen Pitcher OBE, Governance Expert and Chairman Public, Private and Charitable Sectors A “must read” for anyone contemplating taking on the responsibilities of chairing a board. —Bryan K. Sanderson, CBE, Chairman and Founding Director of Home Renaissance Foundation, Chair of Low Pay Commission and Chairman of Florence Nightingale Foundation This book represents the first cross-country study of the work of board chairs in Europe. It focuses on what board leaders actually do, rather than what they should do, and elaborates on a conceptual contingency framework for understanding chairs’ work in Europe. In this second edition, 18 experts from 14 European countries interviewed more than 300 chairs, CEOs, directors and shareholders to detect and compare specific practices and instruments that chairs use to deal with various challenges. Researchers also assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the work of chairs and the boards they lead. The book benefits incumbent and future chairs, directors, shareholders, CEOs, executives and regulators in developing a systemic understanding of the work of a chair in the European business context and gaining insights into how the leader of the board deals with specific challenges.
