In "Meeting the Governing Challenge: Applying the High-Impact Governing Model in Your Organization," Doug Eadie offers nonprofit and public leaders answers to such critical governance questions as: How can I keep my governing board focused on the really high-stakes strategic and operational issues? How can we create a feeling of ownership and satisfaction among board members? What can we do to create a solid board-CEO partnership that will meet the test of time? In six concise chapters, Eadie offers an easy-to-apply blueprint for putting in place these key elements of his High-Impact Governing Model: 1) A board-savvy CEO who takes the lead in building the board's leadership capacity; 2) A detailed board governing mission and carefully designed governing processes; 3) Well-designed board standing committees that function as the organization's "governing engines"; and 4) A board self-management program and strong executive team support for board members in carrying our their governing functions.
