Dean Bill Pounds was for many MIT Sloan students their favorite, most memorable teacher. In this collection of short essays on management and corporate governance, he shares practical, down-to-earth wisdom and insight on topics rarely touched on in the typical MBA curriculum, gleaned from his decades of experience across a wide variety of boards.
CEOs, corporate directors, and anyone interested in how organizations function and perform in the mysterious realm beyond the executive suite will find these timeless ideas a thought-provoking and sometimes irreverent complement to more traditional academic and legal treatments of these important subjects.
