The High- Performance Board offers pragmatic and candid advice about what your board must do to maximize performance and contributions. The authors provide sixty-four principles designed to help your board achieve peak performance. They describe every principle in detail and present best practices and practical applications for each one. Each section of the book concludes with a board check-up-a set of questions that can be used to assess your board in light of the principles. A quick read for busy board members, this book is the ultimate board \"drivers' manual.\"\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eFigures and Check-Ups.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Preface.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e About the Authors.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 1.
