Critics Review
“This is not a standard management book but a must-read for nonexecutive directors, CEOs, and anyone involved in strategy. If you take the book’s lessons to heart you will make fewer mistakes.”
—Jeroen van der Veer, former CEO, Shell, and former Chairman, Phillips and ING
“This immensely thoughtful book drives home the challenges awaiting corporate boards that stay detached from their companies’ strategy-making. Doz and Wilson, who build their arguments around the now-ubiquitous ‘growth curse’ problem confronting public companies, offer tangible suggestions for how boards and individual directors can step up their game as business strategists.”
—Donald C. Hambrick, Evan Pugh University Professor and Smeal Chaired Professor of Management, Smeal College of Business, The Pennsylvania State University
“A must-read for anyone interested in the interplay between boards and top management and the wicked challenge of sustaining growth. Laced with pertinent examples from their advisory experience, Doz and Wilson show how Boards can play a critical role in helping firms shift from operational bottom-line efficiency to a strategic growth mindset and provide practical tools and guidance for doing so.”
—Philippe Haspeslagh, Professor and Honorary Dean, Vlerick Business School, and cofounder and former Chairman, Dujardin Foods
