From the Foreword by best-selling author of Power and Accountability, Bob Monks—''Bob Garratt is the ideal person to write about corporate governance, boards and directors, and this is the right time for this book. That he has warned us of most of the problems that now appear everywhere daily is part of the appeal; the rest is that he has a gift for words and, frankly, fears no man in his insistence on honest analysis. We are all fortunate in the timing of this book's publication.''
