HOW BOARDS WORK is a book by Dambisa Moyo that provides an insider's view of corporate boards as they are buffeted by the turbulence of our times. It offers an urgent road map for how boards can steer companies through tomorrow's challenges and ensure they thrive to benefit their employees, shareholders, and society at large.

The Financial Times has praised the book as "highly instructive" and "provides thoughtful analysis." It is a must-read for any prospective or sitting board member, according to Arianna Huffington, who describes it as "highly engaging" and an indispensable guide to how boards function, malfunction, and should operate better. Mohamed A. El-Erian, the CEO of PIMCO, also highly recommends the book, stating that corporate boards are under great pressure due to scandals and malpractice at companies like GE, Theranos, and WeWork. This has raised justified questions among regulators, shareholders, and the public about the quality of corporate governance. Boards are facing ever-louder demands to weigh in on questions of climate change, racial and gender equity, data privacy, and other social issues that range far beyond their traditional mandate, such as choosing the CEO and endorsing corporate strategy.


In response to these challenges, bestselling economist, veteran board director, and author Dambisa Moyo offers an insider's view of corporate boards in her book, HOW BOARDS WORK. Drawing on her decade of experience serving on corporate boards, Moyo provides a comprehensive understanding of what boards actually do and how they must adapt to survive the challenges of the coming years. Corporations need boards that are more transparent, knowledgeable, diverse, and deeply involved in setting the strategic course of the companies they lead. Moyo's book is an urgent road map for how boards can steer companies through tomorrow's challenges and ensure they thrive to benefit their employees, shareholders, and society at large.
