A must read for any professional
Easy to read and quite literally an eye opener, this book is a must read for every business owner, manager or person involved in any organization. The author brings his many years of experience as an executive to explore not only the questions smart leaders should be asking but explains the real world reasons these questions are not asked. It is a behind the curtain look at what core issues business leaders should be concerned about but often leave unaddressed. It reminds us that organizations can thrive and prosper when its leaders have the courage to ask hard questions and assume accountability for the solutions. As for me, I’m bringing it to my next not for profit meeting and going down the list especially concerning financial accountability and system security!

Board membership is a different animal
Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2026
Most of us who find ourselves appointed to boards do so after a notable career where we demonstrated high individual performance &/or executive impact. Board membership is a different animal & I’ve not seen any other book, training sessions or consultants who come near to matching what this book offers: a perfect blend of strategic thinking and practical tactics to become a top notch Board. You gotta read this !!

Great resource for new or experienced board members
20 Questions Boards Never Really Ask is a practical resource for anyone serving on a nonprofit, association, or corporate board. One of the book’s best points is its recognition that people are asked to serve on a board for different reasons — industry expertise, community involvement, leadership skills, fundraising ability, or passion for a mission — not necessarily because they have a financial background.
This book addresses the fact that many board members may not fully understand fiduciary responsibilities when they join a board. Rather than intimidating readers with technical language, it encourages board members to ask thoughtful questions about governance, finances, oversight, and accountability.
A key takeaway is that fiduciary responsibility belongs to every board member, not just the treasurer or finance committee. The book helps the reader understand that governance does not require every board member to be a financial expert, but it does require a willingness to learn, ask questions, and stay engaged. Overall, this is a fabulous guide for new or experienced board members and would be a valuable addition to board orientations.
