For over a decade Boards that Make a Difference has set the standard for those who want to bring their boards and their organizations to a higher level of performance.

John Carver's revolutionary Policy Governance Model changes the way boards work. It offers an empowering and fundamental redesign of the board role and emphasizes values, vision, empowerment of both the board and staff, and the strategic ability to lead leaders. This book offers readers a new approach to board job design, board-staff relationships, the role of the chief executive, performance monitoring and virtually every aspect of the board management relationship.

Carver offers this board model to help your board produce:

  • polices that make a difference,
  • missions that are clearly articulated,
  • standards that are ethical and prudent,
  • meetings, offices and committees that work, and
  • leadership that supports the fulfillment of long term goals.

You may also be interested in a companion to this book: Reinventing Your Board. Both of these books are useful when purchased in sufficient quantity to give one each to your board directors or trustees.

JOHN CARVER is the creator of the internationally-known, breakthrough approach in board leadership known as the Policy Governance model. He has worked with boards worldwide for over 20 years. His clients have included the National Association of State Boards of Education, the National Ballet of Canada, the American Institute of Architects, the Pentagon Federal Credit Union, and Lutheran World Relief. His ideas have been featured in The London Times and promoted in the National League of Cities, the Canadian Hospital Association, the American Society of Association Executives, Georgia Power Company, and many others.
