​With a fresh take on the business fable, you journey with a new board member -- her name is Crystal -- as she navigates the unspoken rules and manners that come with boardroom tables. In this narrative, we invite you into a scene that takes place mostly around a boardroom table. We watch it play out, chapter by chapter, as what's on the table -- minutes and motions -- confirm what we all know...it's only half the story. Just like a board meeting you may have attended at some point in your journey, you have a front row seat to your own dilemmas when seated around your version of a boardroom table.

The book views culture as a seldom-minded asset and thus making it a needless liability. It invites boards to become intentional in shaping board culture, especially in crucial decision-making moments. Laced through with more than 125 provocative board culture questions, the authors' board coaching expertise comes through.
