The Role of the Non-Executive Director in the Small to Medium Sized Businesses

Beschreibung

The contribution of a good non-Executive Director can make a huge difference to a small to medium sized business. But who should fulfil the role? Someone steeped in the culture and methods of a large corporation may not be able to make a valuable contribution to the governance of a small company. If someone already has a job, will they have time to do the role justice? This book addresses the question of what the input of the non-Executive Director should be and how their strengths can best be accessed and applied. The result is a well-researched yet personal discussion of what is entailed, in theory and in practice, in the role of the non-Executive Director.

'For those contemplating invitations to join the board, Role of the Non-Executive Director in the Small to Medium Sized Businesses by John Smithson is an excellent practical work. It should be mandatory reading for those seeking or intending to appoint non-executives in SMEs and where their role could make a 'life or death' difference to the business'. - Professional Manager
