In this book, a board member with over 25 years' experience pulls off the lid and shows both how boards have worked and how they could work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is grounded in extensive research in three different surveys: one with more than 100 Brazilian directors, another with 340 board members from 40 countries, and a final one with 103 Brazilian directors serving on 238 boards.
