On Board Development

TEN BASIC RESPONSIBILITIES OF NONPROFIT BOARDS (3rd edition) Board Source
7 Ways to Ruin Board Engagement by Board Effect
Don Tebbe, “Managing the CEO Transition: The Board’s Tasks” The six tasks outlined in the article are the framing for the new edition of the book, “Chief Executive Transitions: How to Hire and Support a Nonprofit CEO,” which BoardSource will publish this fall. Interviewed a number of ETM/LC colleagues around the country, all of whom had a similar complaint: the challenge of getting the board to see beyond the search, and plan for and manage the transition process. By calling out the board’s transition management responsibilities as tasks, my goal is to put boards on point. To point out that, yes, you can focus only on the search, but you’ll be leaving the rest of these tasks undone and leaving the organizational change management to chance.
