“Corporate Governance and its interplay in the Boardroom is what this book attempts, successfully, to simplify. The responsibilities and roles of a member of any board, large or small, could not be any easier or more straightforward. If you are looking to making a mark as a Board member who adds value to the organization that you oversee as Board member, the 7 Tools of an Effective Board Member book, is excellent tutelage!

Geoffrey Kihuguru Chairman, Board of Directors, Citibank Uganda Limited

“This book matter-of-factly lays out the opportunity and challenge of appointment as a board member and gives a very useful and practical deep dive on how to be effective in a board position. I particularly recommend this book to all aspiring and new board members, as well as those that are life-long learners, which we all ought to be!”

David Mutabanura Executive Director, Cavendish University Uganda

The 7 Tools of an Effective Board Member book provides the much-needed insight into what is required and happens at the Board. It is a must-read for all those aspiring to promote good board practices.

Haruna Musinguzi Finance Director, Uganda Communications Commission

“This book is exceptionally timely. It fills the gap on the market – African board members’ guide by an African, much as the 7 Tools can be applied in any setting globally. It is a riveting quick to read book. I highly recommend it for board members, CEOs, and anyone aspiring to serve on a board.”

Dr. Miriam O. Laker-Oketta Clinical Research Scientist, MUK

“The 7 Tools of an Effective Board Member is quite enlightening on the process of a board obtaining the high standard of corporate governance. I would recommend this book for institutions that are setting up linkages with their subsidiaries and to board members who wish to make an impact on their organizations. This book is a must-read.”

Hamu Mugenyi Board Chairman, Uganda Development Corporation

“A great initiative, making it a must-read for anyone starting board affairs in developing economies as well as developed economies. The book empowers any reader with insights to transition from mediocrity to super performance in the boardroom. However, the writer has been caught in the web of prescriptive solutions by way of seven tools which may not be the magical solution for improving board governance in all scenarios."

Derick Nkajja Chief Executive Officer
