About The Book

Finally, a playbook for corporate directors.

This book is the first-of-its-kind, providing a contemporary history of the role of a director and a rich, practical discussion of how directors today need to engage and act to excel in their role. On Board: The Modern Playbook for Corporate Governance is well-researched and written by a deeply experienced corporate director, investment banker and expert witness in corporate litigation. Foster wades into the most critical governance debates and provides guidance on key topics such as effectively interacting with a Chief Executive Officer and navigating a corporate crisis.

The book covers the tremendous growth in transactions – including mergers and acquisitions and restructurings – and the increasing importance of institutional investors, as well as the role of environmental, social and governance (ESG) concerns, that have led to today’s requirements and expectations for corporate directors. Filled with interviews with dozens of prominent executives, attorneys, bankers, judges, and other corporate leaders, as well as cases and anecdotes from inside numerous boardrooms, it is an engaging, comprehensive and actionable playbook for good governance.
