Building a Rock-Solid Board-CEO Strategic Governing Team

The long-term success of nonprofit organizations in terms of financial and political stability, operational performance, and growth heavily depends on the strong leadership of a rock-solid board-CEO Strategic Governing Team. And experience has taught that CEOs who are truly "board-savvy" must take the lead in building such partnerships. Drawing on Doug Eadie’s newest book, The Board-Savvy CEO: Building a High-Impact Partnership With Your Board (Governance Edge Publishing, 2014), "The Board-Savvy CEO" will provide participants with an overview of the key characteristics of board-savvy CEOs and the roles they must play in building strong board-CEO partnerships. Special attention will be paid to the role of the board-savvy CEO in turning board members into satisfied owners of their governing work.

Learning Objectives:

  • Be familiar with the key traits of truly board-savvy CEOs
  • Understand how to take the lead in building their board’s governing capacity, including: developing their board’s composition; updating their board’s governing role; and fine-tuning their board’s governing structure
  • Know how to engage their board members in key governing processes, such as strategic and operational planning, in order to transform board members into strong owners of their governing work
  • Understand how to build and manage the board-CEO working relationship, including the very special relationship between the board chair and CEO and the process for board evaluation of CEO performance
