THE PRACTITIONER’S GUIDE TO GOVERNANCE AS LEADERSHIP The Practitioner’s Guide to Governance as Leadership offers a resource that shows how to achieve excellence and peak performance in the boardroom by putting into practice the groundbreaking model that was introduced in the book, Governance as Leadership. This proven model of effective governance explores how to attain proficiency in three governance modes or mindsets: fiduciary, strategic, and generative. Throughout the book, author Cathy Trower offers an understanding of the Governance as Leadership model through a wealth of illustrative examples of high-performing nonprofit boards. She explores the challenges of implementing governance as leadership and suggests ideas for getting started and overcoming barriers to progress. In addition, Trower provides practical guidance for optimizing the practices that will improve organizational performance including: flow (high skill and high purpose), discernment, deliberation, divergent thinking, insight, meaningfulness, consequence to the organization, and integrity. In short, the book is a combination of sophisticated thinking, instructive vignettes, illustrative documents, and practical recommendations. The book includes concrete strategies that can help improve critical thinking in the boardroom, a board’s overall performance as a team, as well as information for creating a strong governance culture and understanding what is required of an effective CEO and a chairperson. To determine a board’s fitness and help the members move forward, the book contains three types of assessments: board members evaluate each other; individual board member assessments; and an overall team assessment. This practitioner’s guide is written for nonprofit board members, chief executives, senior staff members, and anyone who wants to reflect on governance, discern how to govern better, and achieve higher performance in the process.

Humanity is facing a major challenge with the coronavirus. It is estimated that up to 60 million people world wide will die. Mostly older people or those with health issues. True , having health issues and being old. they would have died anyway but with the coronavirus we are talking about a major wave in a short window of time of hospitalized and dead people. Health delivery systems will collapse. Beyond 65 mil that will die scientist predict there will be hundreds of millions of sick people who will not be productive for a while till they recuperate.One does not have to be a rocket scientist to realize that such a wave of sick people, collapsing a health delivery system , will cause a major reduction in active customers and thus consumption. And factories will not be able to produce . And logistics companies to deliver. And as revenues shrink, companies are going to fire part of their work force, causing the health crisis to be now also an economic crisis, leading to recession and predictably depression.As unemployment grows and people on the lower level strata of society suffer income wise the most, there will be social unrest making the health and economic crisis be now a social crisis too. The unrest will call for strong government intervention and regulation that some liberal oriented people will consider anti democratic and too authoritarian bordering on dictatorship. That will make the medical – economic- social crisis to be also a political one. In other words, the year 2020 will be remembered and studied by generations of sociologists, medical researches, political science scientists and common men.The question that should occupy us is: what is a company supposed to do with such dire predictions?That is what this book is about.I hope you find it helpfulSincerelyDr Ichak Kalderon Adizes
