Quotes

Srinath Sridharan and Agamjeet Dang

The book’s authors, who write about governance and boardroom responsibilities.

“The responsibility of future boards will extend beyond protecting organisations from failure. It will involve ensuring that institutions remain worthy of confidence in societies that are becoming more sceptical, more fragmented and less willing to grant authority unquestioningly.”

“Boards are not only governing structures and decisions; they are also governing the stories the organization tells itself about growth, resilience, leadership and identity. These stories often begin as legitimate strength.”
