A board of directors creating a strategic plan in isolation is a sure recipe for making a dust collecting binder. The current model many use for planning is broken. We need to shatter the artificial divides we have built around the process.

Problems in not-for-profit board recruitment are more about the lack of meaningful work than the job appears too hard or too scary.

Many times it is a good thing, even necessary, when you discover you are not the popular person in the room.

Client asked me what should his board look like. I told him to start here: is your board 50% female and does it reflect the diversity of your community and those you serve. If you can get to that point the rest of the composition work is easy. #Governance #directors #equity

What would our workplaces look like if, instead of talking about our employees as our most important resource, we treated them as our organization, as that is what they are?

The greatest gift of charity is to help sustain someone before they become impoverished.
