Governance: Planning & Execution
The effectiveness of governing bodies is often built around successful trust and respectful relationships. This requires a clear understanding of responsibilities, mutually agreed to goals, intra-Board relationships, relationships with leadership and other stakeholder in planning and execution.
​
To achieve this, consideration is given to the unique attributes and characteristics of each governing body member and the leadership team in light of the organization's mission, vision and goals. Understanding and identifying the expertise, skills and talents of each governing and leadership member will assist in better understanding the culture and how to reach desired organizational outcomes.
​
Special consideration is given to creating an understanding of what is black, white and gray in terms of responsibilities and shared responsibilities. This includes an examination of relationships as they currently exist, the effectiveness of existing communication and creating an understanding of the hot buttons, energy and passion that is brought to the table by both the governing body and leadership team.
