Governing By Principles: An Approach to Unleash the Power of Policy Governance

by Eric Craymer, Susan Radwan

There are lots of books and articles on governance in general, fewer focused on the Policy Governance model originally developed by John Carver. Those focused on Policy Governance provide a wealth of general and specific information for boards wishing to become more effective as well as providing methods and options for transforming their governance. This book provides readers with the knowledge to create effective governance using Policy Governance as a useful framework. The book also intends to inspire non-Policy Governance board members to understand the foundations of good governance. The goal of this book is to bring those interested in and practicing Policy Governance to a level of expertise such that their governance is self-sustaining through learning deeply about the principles, their implications, and their impact as a synergistic set. In the best case, boards will no longer just understand this model as a system; they will understand and apply it because these principles are integral to their culture. Policy Governance(r) is the registered service mark of John Carver. Used with permission. The (r) after Policy Governance is a symbol used to protect the integrity of the principles and practices that make up the Policy Governance model. Its use does not imply any financial obligation to the service mark owner.
