Meeting The Governing Challenge

In Meeting the Governing Challenge, author Doug Eadie offers nonprofit and public leaders answers to such critical governance questions as: How can I keep my 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:

A board-savvy CEO who takes the lead in building the board's leadership capacity

A detailed board governing mission and carefully designed governing processes

A well-designed structure of board standing committees that function as the organization's governing engines.

A board self-management program and strong executive team support systems that help board members carry out their governing functions.
