Essays on Governance is a practical, easy to read book featuring a series of thirty-six (36) essays on the strategic essence, philosophy, best practices and legal aspects of leadership and governance. At a time when our faith and confidence in our nation's political and business leaders has reached historic lows, now is the time to reconnect with what it really means to lead and govern properly. Essays On Governance features a collection of thoughts and insights for today's leaders and board members of companies both large and small, public and private, as well as boards of non-profits and NGO's and universities as well as from global government and political leaders. The book also features guest essays from selective thought leaders in the areas of governance, leadership, innovation, and risk management.
