Description
Some of the worst corporate meltdowns over the past sixty years can be traced to passive directors who favoured operational shortcuts over quality growth strategies. Thinking primarily about placating institutional investors, selective Stockholders, proxy advisors, and corporate management, these inattentive and deferential Board members have relied on short-term share price increases to sustain their companies long term. Driven by a desire for prosperity, not posterity, these actions can doom any company. In the activist director, attorney Ira M. Millstein looks back at fifty years of Counselling companies, Non-profits, and governments to actively govern their corporations and constituencies. From the threat of bankruptcy and the coned blackout of 1970s new York City, to the meltdown of Drexel burnham Lambert in the late 1980s, to the turnaround of General motors in the mid-1990s, millstein takes readers into the boardroom of several of the greatest catastrophes and success stories of America's best-known corporations. His solution lies at the top: a new breed of activist directors who partner with management and reject short-term outlooks, plan a future based on growth and innovation, and take responsibility for corporate organization, strategy, and efficiency. What questions should we ask of potential Board members and how do we know they'll be active? Millstein offers pragmatic suggestions for recruiting activist directors to the boardroom to secure the future of the Corporation
