Riassunto:

Going for Impact is a concise, one of-a-kind guidebook that's not about theory. It tackles the 15 topics that are most important for board directors based on extensive, time-tested experience. You'll find straight talk on director's duties. Insights on challenges from leadership succession to measuring impact. Information on emerging trends like lean experimentation. A comprehensive index that's user friendly. The book is for new and incumbent directors, including board veterans who want a quick reference guidebook. Also use it to enliven "on-boarding" sessions, enrich board retreats, embark on strategic planning, or address CEO recruitment. Nonprofit CEO's, presidents, executive directors and managers who interact regularly with their boards will also find this book a valuable resource. They will gain practical knowledge they can use to enhance their own board / management relationships.

His particular passion is helping nonprofit boards perform at high levels as more is expected of these boards today than most people realize.
