Corporate governance has attracted considerable attention worldwide, especially in light of the widely publicized, high-profile global corporate failures and scandals. Since Corporate Governance contributes to the success of any institution, it must therefore be prioritized.In this very practical book, 'Effective Corporate Governance' explores the theories and models of corporate governance as well as the regulatory framework in which corporate governance operates. The authors have also talked about the pillars and best practices for good governance, including what a good board looks like and, at the same time, giving practical ideas on how to measure corporate governance health and what to do to get back on track. In addition, it includes case studies from the African context where the authors have extensively consulted with both for profit, not for profit and government institutions.This book will keep you relevant and ahead of the game whether you are a leader or student of leadership in the public or private sector, a religious institution or even a small and medium enterprise.

One constant thing in organizations is change. Irrespective of who initiates the change, strategic leadership skills are needed to rally others in support of its implementation to successfully manage and accomplish this much-needed change. Many a leader with good ideas fails at change management mainly because they can't get beyond vision. Successful leaders need to take a holistic approach to organizational change: working top-down to influence stakeholders and mobilize support, and bottom up to keep projects and people moving forward. In the midst of change, organizations yearn for leadership - typically with differing expectations of what constitutes effective leadership in response to their needs, hopes, and priorities. At the same time, organizations resist leadership and change. After all, leadership assumes those who follow will be open to more change. Leading Strategic Change provides organizational leaders with insights and tools for understanding and leading change strategically. The authors have ably discussed a number of ways that are helpful to any leader to facilitate strategic change including how the organization should align its culture to strategic thinking for successful change implementation to occur.
