Gerry Brown believes that there too few women on the boards of major companies. For more on the subject of women in business we can recommend [[Why Women Mean Business by Avivah Wittenberg-Cox and Alison Maitland]]. If business continuity is your concern then you need [[Business Continuity For Dummies by Stuart Sterling, Brian Duddridge, Andrew Elliott, Michael Conway and Anna Payne]]. A CEO looking for assistance from within the executive might appreciate [[Consiglieri: Leading from the Shadows by Richard Hytner]]. Finally, Sir Stuart Rose was briefly chairman and CEO of M&S; for more about this company try [[The Rise and Fall of Marks & Spencer: ...and How It Rose Again by Judi Bevan]].
