It includes unique data collected through interviews with almost 200 experienced board chairs and their key stakeholders -- board members, CEOs and shareholders. The book focuses on what board leaders actually do, rather than what they should do, and elaborates on a conceptual contingency framework for understanding chairs' work in Europe. This includes a comprehensive list of chair practices -- iterative behaviour strategies for getting things done, comparisons of contexts for chairs' work and practices among nine countries, and identification of cross-European and country-specific trends that will shape the work of board leaders in the next decade. The book will benefit incumbent and future chairs, directors, shareholders, CEOs, executives and regulators in developing a systemic understanding of the work of a chair in the European business context and gaining insights into how the leader of the board deals with specific challenges. 650 0 $a Boards of directors $z Europe. 650 0 $a Corporate governance $z Europe. 650 0 $a Leadership $z Europe. 650 7 $a Boards of directors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00835113 650 7 $a Corporate governance. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00879649 650 7 $a Leadership. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00994701 651 7 $a Europe. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245064 650 7 $a Verwaltungsrat $2 gnd 650 7 $a Management $2 gnd 650 7 $a Corporate Governance $2 gnd 651 7 $a Europa $2 gnd 700 1 $a ShekshniÅa, S.
