Description

Corporate governance involves a set of relationships between a company's management, its board, its shareholders and other stakeholders. Corporate governance also provides the structure through which the objectives of the company are set, and the means of attaining those objectives and monitoring performance are determined. The  corporate governance has the key to do the act of externally directing, controlling and evaluating an entity, process and resources. One of the keys to choosing corporate officers is integrity and ethical behavior, integrity should be a fundamental requirement in choosing corporate officers and board members. Organizations should develop a code of conduct for their directors and executives that promote ethical  and responsible decision making. Every board can get good reports in what they are doing when they clearly understand the right and equitable treatment of their shareholders, they should respect the right of the shareholders and help them to exercise those rights. In organizations when the right stakeholders and shareholders concerns are taking into consideration, the company must operate fairly and the business improve and grow because the conflict between shareholders and decision makes will be very low, and this helps management to concentrate.

Businesses should avoid choosing leaders who do not know much about the organization, meaning every decision on leadership should be made on competences and not to whom you know, board members should be appraised based on their knowledge and competencies of their field of work and their contribution to the growth and development of the organization. Chief executive officers and board members need to be remunerated high so that they can become more motivated to do the job so that the shareholders can get maximum dividend. Companies must also ensure that they are clearly diversified so that it will have positive impact on their productivity. No board is perfect but those that perform the best are the ones ho ork on continues improvement and that is made easy by conducting boards evaluation. Set goals by first identifying your strategic objectives. What change do you most want to make in your organization? your answer should be a mix of your own objectives and those of your shareholders and customer.
