Abstract

The word governance has been derived from the Greek verb κυβερνάω which means to steer and was used for the first time in a metaphorical sense by Plato. In this book governance will be defined in holistic and authentic terms, namely the systematic process of continuous, gradual, and routine improvement, steering, and learning that lead to sustainable high performance and ethical excellence. We make a distinction between authentic personal governance and authentic corporate governance. Authentic personal governance entails the systematic process of continuous, gradual, and routine personal improvement, steering, and learning that lead to sustainable high personal performance and ethical personal excellence. Personal conduct is part of authentic personal governance, the ability to discern right from wrong and the commitment to do what is right, good, and proper. Authentic corporate governance entails the systematic process of continuous, gradual, and routine corporate improvement, steering, and learning that lead to sustainable high corporate performance and ethical corporate excellence.
