TESTIMONIALS
What people say about “Reinvention from the Boardroom”:

"As a Board Chair and member of multiple boards, I've seen first hand how important boards are to the success of an organization. I've also seen how much has changed in the boardroom over the past several years, and how the best boards are able to embrace change and push beyond their traditional roles. Jim Snabe understands these dynamics better than anyone, and his book Reinvention from the Boardroom is a must-read for those who care about the role of businesses and leaders in a rapidly changing global landscape."

"Against a backdrop of accelerating corporate change, this book explains why boards need to take steps to initiate transformation before it’s too late. The authors provide thought-provoking suggestions on how this can be done, and questions to be asked to prepare businesses for a new environment. This is a useful guide for those looking to move from simple risk management to lasting resilience.”

“For many years, we have been talking about what business can learn from sport. However, sports have just as much to learn from business. Especially on leading and driving innovative boards! This book is a tour de force in doing just that, and should be a companion to any board member or chair aiming to unleash the very best from their organizations."
