Why?
Board• Boards don’t
understand governance-Tendency:
manage the CEO(Micro-management)
• Board idea of ‘board training’-Learning
CEO/staff work-Not enough time
spent on board work
CEO• Neither do CEOs
-Tendency: manage the board(Rubber-stamp)
• CEO idea of ‘board training’-Telling about
CEO/staff work-Not enough time
spent on board work

Erroneous concept of the board’s role:
What do boards expect of themselves?

We’re in charge!

Why?• Board work = Staff work?• If we expect ourselves to…-Know all …-Do all…-Be all
• We are very, very busy• Not enough time
Because we are ‘in charge’

Prescribe Ends – Proscribe Means
Patton: "Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do, and they will surprise you with their ingenuity."
• Identify desired end results (objectives)
• Establish limits(boundaries )
• Refrain from directing the operational details (plan of action)
24

Prescribe Ends – Proscribe Means
Lombardi (might have) said: “Get to the end zone. Stay inbounds…but get there."
• Identify the end zone (objectives)
• Stay inbounds(boundaries )
• Allow your players the freedom to respond to situations ‘on the field’
