Occasionally I do consulting for boards of nonprofit organizations or associations to help them become more effective in governing and leading the organizations for which they are responsible.
Some common problems:
- Conflict between board members
- Unclarity regarding the purpose of the organization
- Unclarity regarding the purpose and role of the Board
- Difference between a governing board and a managing board
- Dysfunctional communication
- Unclarity around the decision making process
- Lack of financial clarity
