Description
Do we really need another book on board governance? Would you trust a surgeon or an airline pilot who stopped learning? Would givers trust your organization if the board stopped learning? Is your board adding value or subtracting value? How do you know? When the Spirit nudges your board, does He hear a busy signal? Do board members focus on high priority Kingdom opportunities -- or do they squander their time in the operational weeds? At your last board meeting, was the boardroom flag green, yellow, or red? Would a "pruning moment" improve future board meetings? Does your CEO's spiritualized rhetoric make it difficult for the board to "vote against God?" Would you nominate any of your board members to the Board Member Hall of Fame? Do board members inappropriately wear their governance hats while volunteering? Do board members inappropriately wear their volunteer hats while governing? Is spiritual discernment a boardroom value? Do we really need another book on board governance? Yes. --
