The global financial crisis has changed the role of the board forever. Is your board ready?

Ram Charan, coauthor of bestseller Execution and corporate governance adviser, helps boards with the unprecedented challenges they now face. In Owning Up, Charan tackles the 14 most troubling questions heard in the boardroom, covering vital issues such as protecting the company against enterprise risk, getting CEO pay performance right, how management's dashboard affects board dynamics, and the important tasks Lead Directors and Governance Committees need to take on.

Boards can use practical tools and cutting-edge practices in Owning Up to build chemistry, deploy best-in-breed governance processes, and make the kind of contribution to shareholder value society now demands. That's how boards can truly own up to their accountability for the performance of their companies during the crisis -- and beyond.
