"Boards that Dare offers an original and provocative look at how board cultures and behaviours need to change if companies are going to thrive responsibly in the 21st century." - Ann Francke, CEO, Chartered Management Institute "Improving corporate governance and oversight is high on the agenda for many governments and regulators off the back of successive corporate scandals and failures. But as this book makes clear, good governance is also about extending the horizons of business to be longer term at times of great change, and understanding shared value and accountabilities to all stakeholders. Boards That Dare provides great insights and challenge to boards and executive management to drive for more sustainable and responsible business. It will take more will, more knowledge and insight, sometimes different capabilities, and also more courage. This book helps to lead the way." - Peter Cheese, Chief Executive, CIPD "In a rapidly changing, global, disrupted, transparent world in order to meet the needs of all stakeholders, business leaders need to reassess why their organisation exists and what purpose it fulfils. Boards That Dare creates a new framework through which leaders can challenge every aspect of their own organisation, make sure they are future proofed and don't get left 'holding the nut'.

" - Andy Rubin, Chair, Pentland Brands Limited "Cary Cooper and his team rarely disappoints. Boards That Dare is the 'must read' for 2018, bearing in mind Oxfam, Carillion and the concerns over FIFA. Getting our boards right is today's imperative." - Andrew Kakabadse, Professor of Governance and Leadership, Henley Business School "Companies need to adapt quickly but their boards often prove to be lacking agility in their thinking and acting. Luckily, Boards That Dare provides us with an in-depth analysis of why boards need to change and how." - David De Cremer, KPMG Professor in Management Studies, University of Cambridge.
