Behind Closed Doors: The Boardroom - How to Get In, Get On and Make A Difference

Bought for my Dad, and his review was that it was a very interesting read from someone very experienced in the business world. Some really interesting stories and points of views.

Terrific book. Packed with great insights learned through a career in business.

The book is well written, packed full of useful insights into how the boardroom works. Lots of tips & advice on the process. Highly recommended for those wanting to make the step into the boardroom

A clear, practical overview of the role and responsibilities of a board.Behind Closed Doors is engaging and accessible, with plenty of behind-the-scenes anecdotes. Laffin has served on the Boards of Northern Rock, Flybe and Aegis Group, to name a few. He brings all of these experiences to bear.Equally suited to those who have crossed the threshold, as well as for those who want a seat at the table.Highly recommend.

This is, in my opinion, a really good and valuable book for anyone thinking about stepping onto a Board. Insightful, valuable comment from someone who has been there and done it with bells on. All the things people will tell you and the same again of things that no one will tell you, wrapped up with a lot of practical advice and comment.

This is different to any other book I've seen about company boards. You really get the feel of the boardroom, with candid and honest comments, anecdotes and some great tips. Who'd have thought that a book about boards would be such an enjoyable read? Anyone who is on a board, or wants to be, or is just interested in company boards should read this.

An interesting book covering all aspects of the boardroom. A suprisingly light read for what might be thought of as a dry subject. The author enlivens the text with examples and anecdotes to back up the theoretical and legal points being covered
