Editorial Reviews
Review
"After reading Boards That Make a Difference and studying the theory behind John Carver's approach to improving the functioning of boards and their linkage with the chief executive officer, this book is a natural next stage for a board committed to improving its capacity. Reinventing Your Board is a must." (Mike Whitlam, director general, British Red Cross Society)

"This clear, 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, chair, board of directors, American Cancer Society)

"This 'how-to' navigational tool will help boards get policy governance right the first time. It is a must for anyone looking to make their board effective into the next century." (Susan Elliott, president, The Law Society of Upper Canada)

Product Description
John Carver's groundbreaking Policy Governance model has influenced the way public and nonprofit boards operate around the world. Now, as widespread experience with the model continues to grow, nonprofit and public board members can find a powerful resource and first-choice reading in the John Carver Set.

In the bestselling Boards That Make a Difference, Second Edition, John Carver enriches his definitive exposition with updated policy samples, a new chapter on the process of policy development, and additional resources for various types of boards. With creative insight and commonsense practicality, Carver presents a bold new approach to board job design, board-staff relationships, the chief executive role, performance monitoring, and virtually every aspect of the board-management relationship. In their stead, he offers a board model designed to produce policies that make a difference, missions that are clearly articulated, standards that are ethical and prudent, meetings, officers, and committees that work; and leadership that supports the fulfillment of long-term goals.

A natural companion to Boards That Make a Difference, Reinventing Your Board is John Carver and Miriam Mayhew Carver's recipe for putting Policy Governance into practice. With 25 figures, policy samples, forms, and other practical, "put-the-model-in-motion" materials, this is the nuts-and-bolts materials that Carvers' followers have been requesting. The authors illustrate effective board decision making, show how to craft useful policies, and offer practical advice on such matters as setting the agenda, monitoring CEO performance, defining the board role, and more. Step-by-step instructions and sample policies make this a valuable resource for boards in the public and nonprofit sectors.
