"Ditch" The Executive Director's Report And Strengthen Your Board, Staff, and Yourself

Do you present an executive director's report to your Board as part of regular Board meetings?

Strong, transparent and fearless leaders empower their teams instead. Rather than gathering info from all of your direct reports, why not coach your team to come and share their subject matter information directly with the Board, whether it's finance, program, development, or other areas?

You'll be building their leadership skills and showcasing your team, while also participating in the Q & A alongside the board instead of being always "on point." Engaging your team as participants at board meetings - not just attendees - is a smart move for leaders who know that grooming the next generation is the most important leadership job of all.
