Another Business Book Told in Story Form

I recently came across The Imperfect Board Member, another in the growing collection of business books that are told in story or fable form.

Here’s how the publisher describes the book:

Using a fictional story followed by thorough analysis of the seven keys to great board governance and effectiveness, The Imperfect Board Member helps board members and CEOs work more effectively and avoid the problems that have plagued companies like Enron and WorldCom. The principal characters in the book represent three main categories of organizations — for-profit companies, non-profit organizations, and faith-based religious organizations. An entertaining page-turner that informs, educates, and motivates while conveying principles that will enable effective governance, the book reveals the Governance Effectiveness Model, describing seven easily understood keys that will help every CEO and board member unlock the door to effective boardroom leadership.
