“Sitting on a board is easy. But being a great board member is another matter entirely, especially if your organization needs change. Jukanovich and West show you how to do it with confidence and grace.”
—Arthur C. Brooks, Professor, Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard Business School, and #1 New York Times bestselling author
“While this book is written for boards of directors, its intentional storytelling inspires humble and trustworthy leadership for all leaders by portraying the real work of becoming culturally conscious. This work moves us beyond clichés to the hard work of governance.”
—Farzin Madjidi, Dean, Graduate School of Education and Psychology, Pepperdine University
“‘Culture eats strategy for breakfast,’ Drucker said, and most boards don’t explore how their culture either detracts from or advances their mission. This work invites boards to move from habits and traditions that restrict their impact toward deeper examinations to make wise changes and meet the challenges of our day.”
—Robert C. Andringa, Managing Partner, The Andringa Group, and coauthor of Nonprofit Board Answer Book
“Time alone does not make a good board (nonprofit boards have been around for ages), but intentionality to be better does. In this book, Jukanovich and West offer a fresh perspective combined with practical applications that will teach and coach a board toward excellence—a win for both organizations and their board members.”
—Shirley Hoogstra, President, Council for Christian Colleges & Universities, and nonprofit board member
