In equal parts a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes of some of our best-loved institutions and a guide on how governing boards should work - HRDirector

Throughout the world, thousands of people give their time, skill and energy to serving on a board. From local councils to international corporations boards play a critical role in the running and success of any organisation, large and small.

On Board

John Tusa brings us behind the closed doors of the boardroom to provide an insight into the inner-working of boards. From personal squabbles to financial crises, Tusa shares his experiences serving on a wide variety of international boards such as the British Museum and American Public Radio. These lively life-stories unveil how boards overcome deep-set divisions, appoint new members and survive in times of chaos.

Through these stories, Tusa provides lessons and tips on how to effectively operate in cooperative business environments. Tusa teaches the reader how to overcome the big egos and how to work collaboratively yet effectively. On Board is not only an engaging foray into the vibrant career of John Tusa - it is also a comprehensive guide to anyone who struggles to work on boards or committees - or in any cooperative environment.
