What People Are Saying

The Imperfect Board Member is a splendid book, rich with wisdom and insight. The disciplines outlined go well beyond the "quick fix" checklists to the broader purpose of the board and the character of the leaders. Given its wonderfully accessible style, this book will surely become a staple for board leaders intent on "sharpening their saws" and developing a healthy, synergistic board.

I know no board members, myself included, who won't learn valuable lessons from Jim Brown's book The Imperfect Board Member. Don't miss it!

Ken Blanchard, Coauthor The One-Minute Manager® and The Secret

Most books about boards are yawns. The few that are readable often lack substance. The Imperfect Board Member is unique in that it is both captivating and truly helpful. Every leader should read it.
