Joining a board of directors is a great honour. It enables you to make an enhanced contribution to the success of an organisation but it also involves responsibilities and risks. Where regulation and litigation are concerned, ignorance is not an excuse.Being a company director requires a different mindset, new skills, a new identity and changed relationships. The New Directors Handbook will introduce you to the roles, responsibilities and risks you should be aware of as a company director, as well as providing you with some tools to help you in your career.It has grown out of many years’ experience working directly with new directors and existing boards from around the world. As such it addresses the essential needs and practical challenges of real directors. Read it through and it will provide you with a comprehensive foundation for your career as a company director. Then use it as a reference and return to it when you need to. 3
