Why another book on corporate governance? This book focuses on leadership development, and on the functioning of a boardroom in an "Asian" context. The principles of good corporate governance are accepted across borders, but the implementation and translation of transparency, fairness, accountability and responsibility can differ quite distinctly from one country to another. Most books about corporate governance are written for a Western audience. The Boardroom emphasizes the unique socio-cultural and judicial features as well as idiosyncratic board structures in Asia and particularly in an Indonesian context. This book analyses how boardrooms and their leaders steer organizations and attempts to answer how boards can be more effective in pursuing and achieving organizational financial and non-financial performance objectives amidst global competitive turbulence, socio-economic volatility and geopolitical uncertainty. Are boards really future-proof today? Boardmembers - appointed and entrusted by their owners - are like guardians with a fiduciary duty to safeguard the organization and prepare it for a viable and sustainable future.
