Improving Board/CEO Relations
Can you help me get going on this?
Some organizations have a 'revolving door' of management turn-over. There are some 'red-flags' that can indicate problems in a relationship between the Board and CEO.
Here are some "red-flag" situations to watch for:
A chief executive who controls the agenda/information and frustrates the Board and then offers to set policy and plans.
A Board that has an unreasonable set of expectations and then offers little in the way of guidance and support.
Board that is fractious and has trouble articulating a unified vision for the organization.
A Board that engages in micro-managing, rather than concentrating on long-term issues and leaving implementation and day-to-day management to staff.
Identify what method or activity could be initiated to unify the Board, bringing the Board together for the good of the organization.
