Publisher's summary

The Board Game presents the undeniable case for having more women corporate directors at the decision-making tables of America's public companies. Fifty-eight women directors tell how they won their first board seats. From her executive-search perspective, author Betsy Berkhemer-Credaire gives valuable advice to women at all career stages - so YOU, your sisters, your mothers, and your daughters will have a chance to win The Board Game.

Influential male business leaders say it's smart to have women on boards:

"Corporate boards without women directors are basically dysfunctional. Companies can no longer ignore half the population (and 70 percent of the purchasing power) and be successful." - Peter V. Ueberroth, director, Coca-Cola - three women directors today; women on board since 1934.

"A Board of Clones tends to do clone thinking and usually has a very narrow range of creativity. A board that has both genders and multiple ethnicities, is far more likely to be productive and responsive to employees and customers. I feel sorry for any organization that doesn't have a significant level of diversity." - George C. Halvorson, chairman/CEO, Kaiser Permanente - five women directors on board.

Inspiring and actionable

This is a book you’ll need to pause frequently to take notes! It provided clear, actionable advice that I’ll implement now. I also took note of chapters I’ll revisit as I’m further along. Listening felt like going to coffee for mentor meetings with an impressive lineup of women I wouldn’t have otherwise had access to. Great read for all stages, but particularly valuable for women in early to developing stages of their careers.
