About this ebook

The Practice of Corporate Governance by Bob Tricker is a fundamental playbook written specifically for members of governing bodies, directors, and trustees. Published in October 2022 by CRC Press / Routledge, the book delivers a universal, straightforward guide to the core responsibilities of modern board members. [1, 2]

Core Concepts & Themes

Governance vs. Management: Tricker emphasizes that corporate governance is entirely distinct from management. While management runs the business, the governing body ensures that the business is being run well and structured properly. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Universal Application: The book argues that all corporate entities need a governing body, regardless of size, purpose, or structure. This applies equally to a multi-national conglomerate or a local sports club. [1]
Practical Checklists: Every chapter concludes with a dedicated workbook worksheet. These worksheets allow readers to audit, map, and analyze the specific governance practices of their own organization in real-time. [1, 2, 3]
The Four Pillars of Board Duty: Tricker outlines basic common features all boards must master: strategic thinking, policy formulation, supervision of ongoing management, and ensuring accountability/financial viability. [1]
