First Sentence
Conventional wisdom in governance did not develop out of credible theory, but from trial and error, tradition-blessed familiarity, and the dominance of either managers or management mentality. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to Navigate This Rich Resource, Nov 29 2001
By 
Randee Loucks (St. Catharines, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: John Carver on Board Leadership (Paperback)
WOW! This compendium of more than 100 of John Carver's articles would be useful enough if it only collected these important articles on Policy Governance into one volume. This publication goes several steps further - by starting with a Frequently Asked Questions Guide, the reader is directed to his or her most urgent concerns. These FAQs appear throughout the book along with pull-out quotes that focus the reader's attention on key issues in the section. Both these features make the book easy to navigate and consequently, a richer resource.

It's great to have these articles combined into one resource since many have been previously published in hard to access journals. This will be a great resource for those new to Policy Governance as well as to experienced practitioners.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wealth of practical information, Nov 19 2001
By 
This review is from: John Carver on Board Leadership (Paperback)
This book is a gold-mine of practical information about the application of Policy Governance®. Boards will find a wealth of wisdom from former issues of Board Leadership, as well as a number of articles published in industry-specific journals that were not previously easy to find, now all in one convenient, easy-to-use package. Articles are short, easy-to-read, and of practical "hands-on" value. The FAQ section permits the reader to zoom in on particular areas of interest. As a consultant in Policy Governance® , I find the book to be a very user-friendly reference. For boards using the model, it is an invaluable resource. This is a book that can be read cover to cover, or can be "dipped into" to address specific issues facing a board at any given point in time. A must for your board's reference and on-going development.
