Another governance publication? In the aftermath of the many recent failed models of leadership provided by rogue CEOs and negligent boards, the public has been treated to a smorgasbord of governance critiques ranging from corporate scolds to corporate apologists. Nonetheless, the growing stack of writing created by the cottage industry of governance professionals has become so focused on legal compliance and financial audits that the larger leadership implications of good governance are neglected.

Unlike the common reliance on tedious recipes, simplistic admonitions, finger-pointing vilification, and self-interested dogma, Leadership and Governance from the Inside Out gathers a priceless portfolio of expertise across fields and ideologies. Among the disparate voices collected here are the candid insights of both successful and failed CEOs, the passions of pioneering shareholder activists, the tradeoffs of courageous whistleblowers, the research inferences of renowned management scholars, the recommendations of insightful accountants, the wisdom of experienced attorneys, and the dreams of trailblazing regulators.

This book avoids a simplistic synthesis of the contrasting perspectives. Never before have such varied opinion leaders appeared in print together to address shared governance concerns. The distinguished contributors include current and past SEC chairmen William Donaldson and Arthur Levitt; governance advocates like Vanguard founder Jack Bogle; the Corporate Library’s Nell Minow; Enron’s Sherron Watkins; past and current CEOs such as Norman Augustine of Lockheed Martin, Robert Lane of John Deere, and Bill George of Medtronic; prominent scholars such as Yale’s Rick Antle, USC’s Warren Bennis, Harvard’s Rosabeth Moss Kanter and Rakesh Khurana, INSEAD’s Manfred Kets de Vries, and Wharton’s Michael Useem.

Leadership and Governance from the Inside Out transcends the hand-wringing over current crises to help resolve the problems with fresh ideas about reform. Some boards continue as rubber stamps for management while others have become needlessly adversarial. This book is a vital resource for those business leaders who choose to restore or fortify the trust of shareholders and employees while safeguarding their own priceless reputations.
