Write to Govern book

‘I reviewed the first edition of this book and loved it. Now it is back in a much improved new version with thoughtful additions such as an up to date focus on electronic papers and the use of board portals.

‘The book is practical, authoritative and (of course) well written. It is a ‘must read’ for senior executives who want to improve their standing with the board and a ‘must have’ for any board that wants to increase its satisfaction with the written reports and papers that plague its meetings.

‘This book will make the lives of directors easier and improve their governance by enabling
reporting to add value to decision-making.’

Julie Garland McLellan, boardroom expert

A definitive guide to writing board papers
‘If like me you are required to write board papers and have never had formal training, then this is
the book for you.

‘From the minutiae of when to capitalise or use colons, to the standard principles, format and
structures required for good papers. This book has it all.

‘A lighthouse in the fog of confusion. Thank you!’

Quality writing matters
‘Useful to remind us that quality writing matters. A good read for those writing report to boards.
Worth investing time in.’
