How to Earn, Prepare For, and Perform in Your First Board Seat
Most operators who want a board seat are passed over — not for lack of competence, but for reasons this book names directly. It covers why operators specifically get overlooked, how to build a genuinely board-ready reputation before you're in the room, how the board search process actually works (and how opaque it is by design), and how to read financial numbers the way a fiduciary does, not the way an operator does.
