Advice to Board Members

I just finished reading Ram Charan's new book titled Owning Up. In this book, he explains 14 questions every board member needs to ask. I like his straightforward, unpretentious, and practical style, and this book stands up to the standards of The Game Changer (written with the CEO of P&G) and Execution (written with Larry Bossidy). I do, however, have some reservations about the applicability of his ideas in our largely promoter-driven companies. But that's a topic for another post some other day....
