Motivating your board of directors

 

Many of our association and nonprofit clients struggle with board-related issues.  Board communication, lack of board involvement, reactionary or docile boards can all be things that we have dealt with in one way or another.  It can get particularly hairy as we try and move strategic initiatives through the board, ensuring appropriate governance while retaining some freedom for operation and effective implementation.  The Harvard Business Review posted a nice short on this and I hope it will help some of our clients and readers of this blog.
