Effective healthcare organizations need collaborative CEO/board relationships. Author Peter McGinn, a former health system CEO and a former board member, has been on both sides of the boardroom table. This book provides his seasoned advice for building a positive and productive partnership between the CEO and the board.

McGinn suggests a new metaphor for the CEO/board relationship: the CEO as the consultant and the board as the client. Throughout the book, he provides strategies CEOs can use to coach and advise board members. He also provides guidelines for board members. There are differences in the roles of the board and CEO, but there is a level of parity as well—it is a partnership of equals. This book explains how to enhance the strengths of each party.

Topics covered include:

Getting the right people on the board Coaching physician board members Grooming future executive committee members Establishing and maintaining performance standards Managing real or perceived problems and crises Building trust, confidence, and respect Maximizing participation and contributions Making difficult decisions

Editorial Reviews

Review

I found McGinn s common-sense approach to be extremely compelling. He is right on target that the CEO needs to be a consultant to the board. The CEO s role is to point the way, educate, and provide direction, but ultimately the board must approve and support. McGinn s strategy of collaboration, consultation, and coaching is a recipe for success. --J. Thomas Jones, FACHE, President/CEO, West Virginia United Health System

McGinn s metaphor of the CEO as consultant resonates with me. The CEO, as the organization s content expert, does have the opportunity to serve as the most important consultant the board could have. McGinn cleverly enables the reader to imagine the board CEO relationship as a partnership of equals as the respective players use their complimentary skills and insight to advance the organization. I wholeheartedly recommend this book. --Ronald R. Peterson, President, Johns Hopkins Health System

Wonderful book; it’s well written and thoughtful for the future administrator/manager. I had to order this for a course and it’s hands down one of the best books I’ve read in my curriculum.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very valuable book
Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2009
This review is from the perspective of someone who has worked as a hospital executive and has chaired and served on not-for-profit boards. McGinn's book is an extremely valuable contribution. It will provide guidance and insight both to hospital and non hospital (not-for-profit) CEO's and boards. In addition his perspective as a consultant offers a rapid entry to the hospital field for consultants new to or working in the area.

I think that this book should be required reading in all health administration and MBA programs. It synthesizes years of experience in a straight-forward and directly applicable format. It is also a great read with numerous stories/quotes that you will find useful in your presentations.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a Must have
Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2009
What a great read, McGinn's latest book does not disappoint. I serve on a not-for-profit board that is not directly in the health care business and I found his insights equally relevant. The examples of problem solving, relationship building, strategy and leadership are based on practical situations that are very useful in the daily practice of management.

If you have ever asked who should be on a board, what do they do and how should they do it, this book has the answers. It serves as a complete study as well as a quick reference guide to common issues. A must have for anyone involved in board activities.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book.
Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2009
This book for Boards and CEOs is both brilliant and practical. McGinn shares great insights on the challenges boards and CEOs face. Also, he presents in very concrete terms the keys to building and sustaining an effective Board-CEO partnership that results in responsible leadership. All this in a style that's fun to read and rich with McGinn's sense of humor, great stories and life lessons. A great guide for orienting new board members and CEOs. Valuable food for thought for people involved with board evaluation and selection. Also terrific for continuing board education.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read and Benefit
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2009
I've been a hospital CEO for nearly 30 years. During this timeframe I have worked with numeruos Boards of many different styles and personalities. Finding the right balance between leading and managing the governance process as CEO is difficult. McGinn's prescription for building a working relationship that enables the CEO to share the organization's mission and vision is packed with practical advise and the wisdom of experience. The instructive Application Guidelines for both the Board and CEO at the end of each chapter provide a framework to create a lasting partnership.
