The Activist Director

Sanford I. Weill, chairman emeritus, Citigroup:
For more than six decades, Ira Millstein has had an important seat in the boardrooms at some of our world's most iconic corporations. The Activist Director is a fascinating and must-read book for anyone associated with a for-profit or not-for-profit board.

Richard Parsons, former chairman and CEO, Time Warner, Inc.:
The Activist Director is a must-read. By examining real-world examples based on his firsthand experience counseling boards, Ira Millstein offers unique and imaginative solutions to the problems corporations face in today's rapidly changing global marketplace.

Michael Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg LP and former mayor of New York City:
No one has more experience with corporate boards, and insights into what makes them work, than Ira Millstein. The Activist Director reveals the good, the bad, and the ugly from some of the biggest management failures—and successes—in recent history.

Joseph Perella, cofounder and chairman, Perella Weinberg Partners:
For more than half a century, Ira Millstein has been a leading authority on corporate governance. His new book, The Activist Director, provides a probing analysis of corporate governance, an inside the boardroom view, and is sure to serve as an essential guide to directors in today's transforming environment.

John C. Bogle, founder and former CEO, The Vanguard Group:
Far too many corporate directors have failed to honor their responsibility to manage the corporations they serve for the benefit of the firm's shareholders. In this powerful and articulate book, attorney and board consultant Ira M. Millstein aims to drive a stake into director passivity, and create a new model for the activist director. It is a grand and important vision.
