Launch
How to Get a Board Unstuck
Are you struggling to get your board to make progress? Does it feel like you’re just spinning your wheels, talking about the same problems again and again, but nothing seems to be happening? With the Launch program you can learn how to get your board unstuck and moving forward in the right direction.
Go from where you are, to where you want to be.
SERVICE DESCRIPTION:
In this multi-part program, you will gain insight into what’s holding your board (and organization) back from reaching the next level.
Is Your Board Stagnating? Time to reboot. Launch will help you redefine existing goals, establish clear priorities and modify processes so your board can progress forward. Boards that don’t function well – don’t make impact.
An underperforming (or stagnant) board can often be the root cause of problems for an agency. Diagnose the cause of these issues and create a plan for moving forward and tracking future results. If you have a malfunctioning board – you need to address the problem, fast. All too often, the board is simply unaware of their duties and expectations.
Sometimes, boards fall off track. Strong leaders recognize when it happens, and work to disrupt the resulting loop of dysfunction. By taking a closer look at the board’s current operating environment, we can identify the key issues your team needs to address. Through one-on-one training, I can help board chairs strengthen their leadership and realign the team.
