'A pertinent and timely read in these difficult times.' - Baron David de Rothschild, Chairman, Rothschild

'Y?lmaz Argüden's untiring campaign to promote good corporate governance in Turkey is largely responsible for the priority it has today among both businesses and the public at large. Drawing on his vast experience, Dr. Argüden offers invaluable insights and universal guidelines for a wide range of management decisions that impact corporate governance. I have no doubt that 'Boardroom Secrets' will become a reference book for businesses everywhere as they seek to rebuild the trust of their stakeholders in the years ahead.' - Bülent Eczac?ba??, Chairman, Eczac?ba?? Holding

I know of no better single source for getting it right in the boardroom. Read these secrets, apply them diligently, and improve your board's performance.' - Prof. David R. Beatty O.B.E.; Founding Managing Director, The Canadian Coalition for Good Governance

'The unfolding financial and economic crisis has fundamentally been due to a wide ranging failure of corporate governance.

'I wish 'Boardroom Secrets' had been available when I was getting a start in business 35 years ago. I would have read it line by line and my business life would have been much more effective.
