Listen Later

Board members are always eager to help, but what happens when they become too helpful?  A board of directors needs to have enough information to provide proper governance, but providing too much detail could lead to micromanagement.

Andy Davis, Director of Education from BoardSource is here to provide some guidance for excellent board/executive/staff relationships.

 

In this episode, Dennis asks Andy about the relationship between the board chair and the chief executive.  Hint: the relationship should be built upon regular and consistent communication.

You will also learn more about:

-The balance between board and staff interaction

-Making a commitment to no surprises

-The value of a formal evaluation of the CEO at least annually

-Creating a responsibility document for board members
