| Boards That Make a Difference (J-B Carver Board Governance Series) by Jossey-Bass Board Governance for those who really care |
| Dr. Carver's seminal work on nonprofit board governance updated to cover all the Sarbane-Oxley stuff. For those who care enough to study the very best. |
| Boards That Make a Difference (J-B Carver Board Governance Series) by Jossey-Bass incredibly useful |
Carver describes how to avoid common Board mistakes and actually create the Board in a leadership role. It seems so obvious now that I read it... but I had to read it to realize what the problems were with my previous and current Board experience.
This book is tailored to answer questions about every size of Board, so read it! It's a bit dense in its language, but useful to all of us. |
| Boards That Make a Difference (J-B Carver Board Governance Series) by Jossey-Bass John Carver |
| I am currently a newly appointed Board chairperson for a non-profit Christian school and we have been using John Carver's Policy Governance model for the last year. While we still have a long way to go to incorporate it completely into the fabric of our board processes, we have made great strides toward it in only a year. This book is excellent in helping us get there. I have also read several of John Carver's guides and although they are somewhat small for the money you have to pay for them, they also contain very good information. We hope to study these principles as part of our on-going board training during this board fiscal year. |

| Not the most engrossing read, but for anyone serving on a board, it is a great resource. |
| Boards That Make a Difference (J-B Carver Board Governance Series) by Jossey-Bass Product Description |
| In this revised and updated third edition, Carver continues to debunk the entrenched beliefs and habits that hobble boards and to replace them with his innovative approach to effective governance. This proven model offers an empowering and fundamental redesign of the board role and emphasizes values, vision, empowerment of both the board and staff, and strategic ability to lead leaders. Policy Governance gives board members and staff a new approach to board job design, board-staff relationships, the role of the chief executive, performance monitoring, and virtually every aspect of the board-management relationship. This latest edition has been updated and expanded to include explanatory diagrams that have been used by thousands of Carver’s seminar participants. It also contains illustrative examples of Policy Governance model policies that have been created by real-world organizations. In addition, this third edition of Boards That Make a Difference includes a new chapter on model criticisms and the challenges of governance research. |
