Transform Your Board in 4 Seasons
1. Personal Connection
Board members dig deeper and identify their "why" for board service. This helps them talk about their role and involvement from a place of authenticity.
2. Individual Plan
Board members develop a realistic plan for how they will be involved in the business of the board, invest in advancing the mission, and influence others among their network.
3. Accountable Ownership
Board members understand the different modes of board service—fiduciary, strategic, and generative—and how to bring meaningful support to advancing those objectives.
4. Self-Reflection
Board members look back on the past year and take stock of their year of service, what value they bring to the work, and articulate it in a way that helps them invest in a mentoring relationship with a future fellow board member.
