"This comprehensive book is a practical guide for executive and non-executive directors and aspiring directors to lead, govern and steer UK-based organisations to long-term sustainable success. In today's turbulent environment, corporate governance is increasingly scrutinized, and this book will consider how directors can 'bring the future forward' with respect to responsible and ethical governance and leadership against the challenging political, environmental and economic backdrop. While other books discuss UK corporate governance, this one uniquely demonstrates how the work of directors can build an organisation's antifragility, and offers a view of stewardship approaches to every sector and type of UK organisation, from large premium listed companiesto start-ups, the public sector, not-for-profits, partnerships, family-owned and private equity-backed organisations. Aspiring, newly appointed and experienced directors will each benefit from this starting guide - or refresher - on UK corporate governance, with highly practical and actionable insights"--

Its unusual but compelling combination of factual information and personal insights provided by practicing board members, offering insights that are just not available anywhere else." - Peter Allanson, Good Governance Institute

The Editors and Contributing Authors add to the growing body of scholarly and other works that provide a grounding and underpinning to the understanding of good governance." - Jonathan Geldart, Director General, Institute of Directors.

Arturo Langa is an experienced Non-executive Director. His executive career has spanned in excess of 30 years in the NHS and includes senior management roles and chairing leadership committees relating to clinical governance and oversight. This has led to a passion for board governance, which he brings to his non-executive Board roles. His current roles include being a non-executive director of NHS National Services Scotland (NSS) and serving on the Court of Queen Margaret University and he is still a practicing senior clinician (Consultant) in the NHS. Previous board roles have included large charities where he chaired board committees. He has also been a board adviser to a number of MedTech companies. He provides strategic input, business knowledge, and seeks to adhere to strong governance principles in every boardroom setting. Arturo is an active investor in early-stage companies. He has been an editor and an editorial board member of a number of professional journals and a published author in academic publications as well as a Visiting Professor at the University of the Highlands and Islands.

Monica Langa is the Chair and Non-executive Director of a number of private-equity-backed companies and of an Angel Investment Syndicate. She is a former Fund Manager/Investment Director and also worked at the Institute of Directors. She has over 20 years' Non-executive Board experience in the charity/voluntary and the venture capital sectors. As a Director of an executive search practice, Monica specialises in Non-executive Board appointments and independent Board evaluations for the listed investment company and financial mutual sectors, so she spends the majority of her time both advocating for and experiencing best practice in governance in some of the most highly regulated boards in the UK. She holds the Institute of Directors Certificate in Company Direction, holds an MSc in Investment Analysis, is a qualified banker (Chartered Institute of Bankers in Scotland), and a qualified HR professional (CIPD).
