How P&G's Board Members Add to its Bottom Line

The best CEOs maximize the skill sets and experience of their board members to help lead their companies, says Wharton School Professor Michael Useem, Co-Author of "Boards That Lead". CEOs that merely use the board of directors to rubber stamp their policies leave a lot on the table. Useem says P&G is an example of company that has created a strong, knowledgeable board and fully utilizes its abilities. Finally, he says board members must have the capacity to lead inside and outside the board room.
