Key Steps to Building an Effective Board

Host: TK Kerstetter
Guest: Richard Leblanc, Associate Professor of Governance, Law & Ethics at York University

A North American board governance guru is put on the hot seat to discuss key steps to creating a great board—and how investors can know how effective their board really is. Richard LeBlanc and host TK Kerstetter talk about board leadership, board assessments, board recruitment and composition.

Kerstetter also quizzes LeBlanc about his book, "Inside The Boardroom: How Boards Really Work And The Coming Revolution In Corporate Governance." The two discuss his predictions and whether a governance revolution he projected in 2005 actually transpired.

LeBlanc also is about to release a new book entitled "The Handbook of Board Governance," which is a great read for board members who want to create a more effective board.
