Purpose Under Pressure is for boards, Chairs, CEOs, directors and governance professionals who want to strengthen the way they think, question and decide when pressure is increasing.
It is written for leaders who know that good governance is not only about structures, policies and compliance. It is also about the quality of the conversations that happen before a decision is made.
The book explores the governance conversations boards need now, including how boards work with risk, purpose, uncertainty, assurance, accountability and judgement when decisions carry consequence.
Purpose Under Pressure is for:
Board Chairs and directors
CEOs and executive leaders
Company Secretaries and governance professionals
Not-for-profit, public-purpose and member-based organisations
Leaders working with risk, reform, regulation, safety or public accountability
It is especially relevant for boards and leaders who are navigating complexity, increased scrutiny, organisational change or decisions where the consequences extend beyond the boardroom.
Boards are being asked to govern in conditions that are more complex, more visible and more contested.
The issues arriving in the boardroom are rarely simple. They often involve competing duties, incomplete information, stakeholder pressure, workforce impact, regulatory expectations and real-world consequences for people and communities.
Purpose Under Pressure was written to help boards have better conversations before pressure becomes crisis.
It invites directors to slow down, notice what is really happening and ask the questions that support stronger judgement, better assurance and more defensible decisions.
