Effective Corporate Governance for Businesses

Effective corporate governance makes great businesses, but very few founders of businesses have truly understood how to harness the value of corporate governance to help make their businesses great.

Until now. 

A different take on 
corporate governance

In this groundbreaking book, Andrew Usuki deconstructs previously held notions of corporate governance, and reveals transformative governance principles for businesses.

He examines five key stakeholders of a business: shareholders; directors; employees, customers, and suppliers; creditors and acquirers; and legacy founders. 

With a focus on the founders’ perspective, he defines corporate governance as a system of checks and balances that guides individuals within a business to consistently make decisions in the best interest of the business, and in compliance with business law.
Effective Corporate Governance =
Freedom, Lasting Legacy, and Powerful Valuation
Corporate Governance = Freedom, Lasting Legacy and Powerful Valuation.
Awareness
We start by building awareness of key corporate governance issues in the context of your business.
IDENTIFICATION
This allows you to identify existing problems that need immediate attention.
REMEDY
We start fixing them immediately.
PREVENTION
Once you’ve done that, you’ll be able to calmly scan your business to prevent potential problems before they occur.
The result is freedom from anxieties related to relationships with all your business stakeholders, as you minimize potential liabilities.
Andrew accompanies the reader on a succinct journey to the heart of the matter: Great businesses have founders with self-awareness of their individual anxieties inside the business.

They work to change old approaches. They build and implement new solutions founded in best-in-breed governance practices, which ultimately alleviates the anxieties. With new solutions in place, these businesses realize the full potential of their founders’ authentic legacy and maximize their business valuation.
