Product Description

Boards control most group undertakings in the world. They are our most ubiquitous, visible, powerful instance of group servant-leadership–or lack of it. With respect to a “moral ownership” (if not always a legal one), the board is a group servant-leader. With respect to the board, the chairperson is a servant-leader. The chair, therefore, holds a double servant-leader role. The role of board chairperson properly construed is the most pervasive instance of institutional servant-leadership in our culture.

John Carver is the most published author on the governing board role, having authored or co-authored three books and over 150 articles on the topic. As a creator of the Policy Governance model, he is widely considered the most provocative international authority on governance.
