Boardcraft

While they serve at the highest level of leadership of any organization; corporate boards tend to be often overlooked and underutilized. High performing boards can drive organizations to greatness while poor performing boards can tear them apart. Using the fictional story of a healthcare technology company, Coppryx, Boardcraft tells the story of a struggling organization with eroding market share and a paralyzed board. Poorly-defined roles and responsibilities, paired with constant infighting and conflict, prevent the Coppryx board members from properly leading the company. Ron James, the newest director, sees a company rapidly approaching its own self-destruction and he decides to mentor the board to transformation and success by introducing the "Corporate Board Intelligence (CB-IQ)" model. The second part of the book switches to non-fiction and presents the background for each of the CB-IQ elements, providing leaders with invaluable tools to identify each of the elements of CB-IQ, and practical solutions that can be used to build and foster CB-IQ within your own organization. > Learn about the elements of (CB-IQ) that can derail corporate boards > Develop knowledge on how to build CB-IQ within your own organization > Access self-help checklists and surveys that you can use to help identify areas to improve CB-IQ > Gain understanding of the types of personalities and character-types that sit on your board > Unlock your board's true potential
