Behavioral Corporate Governance In Practice New Models For Leadership And Oversight

While covering the key aspects of any board’s agenda the book goes a step further by deconstructing behavioral dynamics and balancing both leadership and oversight in its examination of governance.

Building on these considerations the author presents a new leadership model in reaction to the classic model of CEO narcissism one based on strategic and empathetic leadership. A case is also made for the internally and externally balanced board which exhibits an effective mix of behavioral dynamics and strategic sensitivity to the wider societal context beyond organizational interests. Topics covered include information management finance accounting risk management fraud and corruption purpose risk strategy and the role of the external auditor as ally of the non-executive. Case studies and reflection questions throughout the book serve to enhance readers’ understanding of the nuances of these topics.
