About the Board and the CEO

Good relationships lie at the heart of every successful organization. Yet no relationship is more important—or more challenging—to navigate than the one between the board and the CEO.

In this practical and concise book, David Weekley—chairman of David Weekley Homes and one of America’s most influential philanthropists—and Peter draw from their years of experience to equip other board members and organizational leaders to enter into an impactful, life-giving partnership.

With this pivotal relationship in place, both individuals and the organizations they serve can truly flourish.
