Is it trapped by habitual tasks and routine\, marginal work? Does it fail to ask the hard questions\, or any questions at all? Does it suffer from groupthink\, or even worse\, tend to listen to the same handful of board members over and over? \nMany nonprofit boards\, especially as we emerge from the pandemic\, are rethinking how they govern in order to more effectively advance our missions in constructive partnership with the chief executive. Based on the book\, Governance as Leadership\, we will engage in a highly interactive discussion on how to effectively reframe the work of the board using the fiduciary\, strategic\, and generative modes. We will also explore how boards can cultivate a culture where assumptions are challenged and tough questions are asked to ensure due diligence and ethical decision-making. \nIn this session\, you will learn how to: \n\nBetter engage your board by offering more meaningful and consequential work\nIncrease the value of board contributions to fiduciary and strategic work\nInvite your board to engage in generative thinking\, the most underutilized of the three modes\nBuild a culture of inquiry in your boardroom\n\nWho should attend Session #1 \nThis session is for current and future Board Leaders and Executive Directors interested in building a board culture for effective engagement.
