John Carver has written that a board that cannot govern itself cannot hope to govern an organization. A
Board needs to be proactive in the design of its process and hold a mirror up to its performance.Boards focus a lot of their time on setting and monitoring the policies that direct and protect the organization.
- One objective of this session is that participants appreciate that the board’s ability to do that work depends on how effectively the board directs itself.
- A second objective is that participants learn how a board can organize its policies to address its own job design, discipline, development, and performance so that it fulfills its fiduciary responsibilities and delivers accountability.
