The Perfect Board.
We all aspire to perfection. It is a natural drive within us to make sure things work well and are as good as they can be.
"The Perfect Board" is a set of precepts and ideas that can enable people, even the uninitiated, to work together . . . effectively . . . efficiently . . . and harmoniously to achieve the goals of the organization.
“The Perfect Board offers a primer of sorts on what it takes to be an effective Board member. Clemons touches on everything from regulations to delegation, conflicts of interests and compensation.”

“The Perfect Board economically compresses a lifetime of experience into a charming tale with a message: serving on a Board is serious business. In many organizations, the Board's homework is done in a plane on the way to the meeting. The Perfect Board will not only be read on the first trip, it will be a trusty companion for all future meetings. If you had only one handout for your organization's Board orientation, it must be The Perfect Board.”
