Get yours today…you’ll be glad you did.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy and Important Read for Anyone Serving on a Board
*by H***N on February 9, 2018*

For anyone serving on or working to get onto a corporate, non-profit or faith community board, I recommend The Imperfect Board Member. While my Berkeley MBA class on boards provided an excellent summary of board membership, The Imperfect Board Member presents the material is a much easier to understand format and provide easy to remember take-aways.The book is presented as a leadership fable intertwining a CEO working with his corporate board with his role as a director on a non-profit board. For business leaders likely to be involved in both corporate and non-profit boards, mixing the two scenarios showcases the similarities of board membership regardless of the entity.While the book is a bit dated with its Blackberry screen shots, the take-aways presented are concise and memorable. Brown presents the key nuggets in the space that will fit on your phone’s screen and makes great use of rhyming to make the information stick with you (i.e. you will take it away with you rather than forget it). In addition, he provide an excellent diagram on the lines of communication from owners to board to CEO to staff to customers.As a general manager, my colleagues are frequently trying to get on corporate boards, serving on non-profit boards or involved in their faith community boards. In addition, several of the executive networking groups I am involved in have an emphasis on getting more women onto corporate boards. For each of these groups, I recommend reading The Imperfect Board Member as part of your work to prepare for board membership.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Moving Board Members From Meddling to Monitoring
*by J***N on November 2, 2006*

Jim Brown nails it. With big print, mind-grabbing graphics and a story line in the tradition of Ken Blanchard and Patrick Lencioni books, you'll value the author's seven disciplines in this leadership fable about business boards, nonprofit boards and faith-based boards.Example: "The best boards keep their noses in the business and their fingers out!" Brown warns, "The only way a board can responsibly do its job without meddling is by monitoring very well." Buy a bunch and give a copy to each board member and senior executive on your team.
