About the book
The Book: The essential guide for anyone running a small business who wants to make it grow, avoiding the pitfalls which bring so many companies down.
There are hundreds “ no thousands “ of books for managers in large corporations or multi-nationals. And there are a handful of guides to running small businesses. Amazingly, there are no books on medium sized enterprises “ despite the fact that they are the most vibrant and successful part of the economy.
The role of the non-executive director has never been under such intense scrutiny. Some even take the view that the ˜non-exec` should be done away with altogether. But although non-execs may in the past have been ˜about as useful as Christmas tree decorations`, they are now widely seen as critical to corporate governance, and important contributors to the strategic health of companies.
This handy, informative and up-to date guide looks clearly at what the non-executive director can offer a growing owner-managed business. It explains clearly and concisely the challenges and responsibilities of the role “ and how it can grow and change alongside the business. Intended for both the entrepreneur and the potential non-executive director, this is a useful summary of the key issues. Its straightforward advice and practical guidance make it essential reading.
This is the one of the first in a series of four on the key functions in running any growing business (chairmen, financial directors, managing directors and non-executive directors) written specifically to help medium sized enterprises grow successfully and avoid the mistakes that ruin so many. The problems vary from personality clashes (horribly common), to running out of cash, ill-thought out expansion plans and misconceived acquisitions
Short, concisely written, and with clear, helpful advice, this is the essential guide “ born from great experience “ to help businesses grow successfully.
