Summary: Slender Volume But Speaks Volumes
Comment: Roger Kenny is managing partner of Boardroom Consultants and Ram Charan is a consultant and professor at Northwestern University Kellogg School of Business.

The heart of this slender volume is a mention of a study done by the venture capital firm, Onset Ventures. Nearly 80% of startups fail to survive the first 18 months of life. Onset surveyed 360 startups and found that one group had a 70% chance of making it. This group of companies had CEOs who used mentors with experience running both startups and large businesses.

Such mentors can often be developed and effectively employed in a Board of Directors/Board of Advisors capacity.

Effective Boards in startups involve partnership between Board members and managers, not oversight. The term "E-Board" is used to differentiate this kind of structure from the traditional governance-oriented Boards of established companies.

We think this is a book well worth having if you are a CEO or someone interested in serving on a Board. Facilitating and advancing such E-Boards is really what boardoptions.com is all about.

Summary: Real examples , real solutions - 4.8 stars
Comment: Book is particularly applicable to B2B e-commerce companies who are trying to adjust their revenue models on the fly. Amazingly objective narrative, real-life examples from A-list personnel rather than hypothetical case studies differentiates the book from the theoretical drivel that is pervasive today.
