Over the past 20 years, she has served as a mentor and consultant to many corporate boards across both sides of the Atlantic. In this book, she summarizes her experience from over a hundred board meetings.

She also provides relevant frameworks and character profiles for individuals and boards to use, enabling them to assess their skills, capabilities, and decision-making approaches. This book opens up a new realm in management, offering valuable insights for senior executives and directors interested in leadership, decision-making, and the use and abuse of power."

There are already many books on the formal systems of corporate governance, but McGregor shows us the human elements in corporate governance through her exploration of self-governance and team governance. Additionally, she challenges current corporate governance ideas from an ethical and practical perspective. The author strongly emphasizes the importance of human elements in corporate governance, drawing on her extensive experience as a mentor and consultant to various boards and supervisory committees. She provides guidance and key takeaways for individuals and companies through vivid case studies and examples, and poses a series of thought-provoking questions for different governance roles within the company.
