Praise for Chairman of the Board "Board chairmen will find Brian Lechem's book an excellent resource for addressing the issues that arise from the ongoing role of the chairman in managing the governance systems of their corporations." -Peter Dey Chairman Toronto Stock Exchange Committee on Corporate Governance in Canada Partner Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP "Brian Lechem is the first authority to define a chair's role in a timely and very readable book-Chairman of the Board: A Practical Guide. As chair of two publicly traded companies and one not-for-profit, I find that there is little 'guiding hand' advice. I would highly recommend chairs of all boards, and those aspiring to the office, to read this book." -Jon K. Grant Chairman of the Board CCL Industries Inc., Laurentian Bank of Canada, and the Canadian Canoe Museum "Chairman of the Board is much more than a practical guide for chairs. It is a well-written, thoughtful review of the myriad problems facing everyone with responsibility for the governance of an organization." -James Gillies Professor Emeritus Schulich School of Business Practical, real-world advice for the most challenging of positions The role of the chairman of the board is an art form that varies with the size, type, and corporate climate of the organization. Chairman of the Board provides practical guidance on this critical role, offering advice on matters such as how to work with the CEO, ethical considerations, corporate social responsibility, and performance evaluation of boards and board members. Seasoned executive Brian Lechem discusses regulatory requirements and legal exposures relating to board responsibilities and how to minimize risks to company resources.
