--Mike Whitlam, adviser, UK Office of Communications (Ofcom) and former director general, British Red Cross Society, London
"This book has been an invaluable resource for our board members
as we have adopted the Policy Governance model. It is an excellent
road map for the implementation of the model, answering many
practical questions and providing numerous examples of applications
in a variety of settings. I strongly recommend it for any board
wishing to improve its effectiveness."
--Sister Patricia Lorenz, CSJ, board chair, Carondelet Heatth,
Kansas City, Missouri
"This clear and chair-friendly book is the ultimate how-to
manual for a board determined to ensure the future as they would
envision it. No chairman should be without it."
--George Dessart, former chair, board of directors, American Cancer
Society, Atlanta
"John Carver is a revolutionary of the very best kind. Carver's
Policy Governance model has provided the means for trustees to live
out Greenleaf's challenge to boards to act as both servant and
leader."
--Larry C. Spears, CEO, The Greenleaf Center for
Servant-Leadership; editor, Reflections on Leadership,
Insights on Leadership, Servant Leadership, and The Power of
Servant Leadership; co-editor, Practicing Servant
Leadership and Focus on Leadership
"What I value about John Carver’s thinking is that it
provides a logical and coherent base, a unifying theory of
governance that covers both the corporate and voluntary sectors, a
universal definition of the difference between governance and
management rather than the more usual approach of attempting to
allocate functions between them."
--Sir Adrian Cadbury, former chancellor, Aston University; former
director, Bank of England; chairman, UK Committee on Financial
Aspects of Corporate Governance (source of the "Cadbury Report");
recipient of the 2001 International Corporate Governance Network
award; author of The Company Chairman and Corporate
Governance and Chairmanship
