      title = {Leading a board : chairs' practices across Europe /},
      abstract = {This book represents the first cross-country study of the  work of board chairs in Europe. It includes unique data  collected through interviews with almost 200 experienced  board chairs and their key stakeholders -- board members,  CEOs and shareholders. The book focuses on what board  leaders actually do, rather than what they should do, and  elaborates on a conceptual contingency framework for  understanding chairs' work in Europe. This includes a  comprehensive list of chair practices -- iterative  behaviour strategies for getting things done, comparisons  of contexts for chairs' work and practices among nine  countries, and identification of cross-European and  country-specific trends that will shape the work of board  leaders in the next decade. The book will benefit incumbent  and future chairs, directors, shareholders, CEOs,  executives and regulators in developing a systemic  understanding of the work of a chair in the European  business context and gaining insights into how the leader  of the board deals with specific challenges.},
