Many nonprofits never take full advantage of their board members. Extraordinary Board Leadership: The Keys to High Impact Governing deals with an incredibly important topic – “high-impact governing” – which is at the heart not only of a nonprofit’s effectiveness, but also the key to a positive, productive, and enduring board-CEO partnership. This text offers practical, hands-on guidance, which is based on extensive real-life experience and can be put to immediate use. It goes beyond the old-fashioned “policy governance” approach in dealing with the board-CEO-executive staff partnership. The second edition of this successful book presents a more precise definition of “high-impact governing”. It recognizes that the collaborative enterprise of governing requires a close partnership between a high-impact governing board and a truly “board-savvy” CEO, and it also discusses standing committees -- one of the preeminent drivers of high-impact governing -- in greater detail. The second edition also includes more case studies and new information aimed at public governing bodies, as well as more tables and charts to accompany a fresh new text design. © 2009 | 190 pages
