Dr. Carver is the best-known and most highly regarded scholar and practitioner in the field of not-for-profit corporate governance and the leading exponent, throughout the world, of the value and necessity of improving the governance of these organizations.

John Carver has given board effectiveness a unifying vision, a logical and coherent basean integrated theory of governance. This collection of his writings brings home the intellectual rigor of his thinking and the coherence of his Policy Governance model. We have waited long for a book which analyzes the roles of boards from first principles. The Policy Governance model fills that bill and thereby makes a fundamental contribution. For the first time, we are offered a fully integrated and coherent system of governance, a significant advance in management thinking, as near a universal theory of governance as we at present have.

John Carver, like Robert K. Greenleaf before him, is a revolutionary of the very best kind. Carvers Policy Governance model has provided the means for trustees to live out Greenleafs challenge to boards to act as both servant and leader. In so doing, John has proven himself to be one of our greatest servant-leaders.

Boards That Make a Difference is a unique contribution to the field of governance.

Dr. Carvers ideashis Policy Governance modelon how boards should work makes an unparalleled contribution to this essential subject.

Carvers Policy Governance model focuses our directors on developing the ends for which our organization exists, while holding the CEO accountable through written policies for their accomplishment.
T. Wayne Whipple, CFA, former executive director, New York Society of Security Analysts, New York
John Carvers Policy Governance model has taught me the board is not supposed to be the better alternative to management, but has to set ends and limit means for management. Many boards do not understand their own role and try to duplicate management.
Folkert Schukken, chairman, Council on Corporate Governance and Board Effectiveness of the Conference Board Europe, The Netherlands

Preface to the Third Edition
The Policy Governance conceptual model that I created in the mid-1970s has now spread internationally, arguably becoming the approach to board leadership that is most frequently identified by name worldwide. Indeed, becoming Carverized is a frequently used eponym. My wife, Miriam Carverwho has joined me as the authoritative source on model theory due to her extensive knowledge of Policy Governanceand I have trained over 250 consultants and board leaders from eight countries, providing them with intensive advanced instruction in the models theory and practice. Some of those persons have gone on to establish the International Policy Governance Association.
