Are you a member or leader of a board? Do you want to serve on a board? Whether elected or appointed, the board of any organization plays a critical role in the life of that organization.    

What constitutes or defines a good board or a good board member?

What does the organization require of its board?

Can you afford to have your time wasted? Can you afford the legal liability of organizational misbehavior?

Labor Management Advisory Group consultants are experts in Policy Governance® and the Carver System.

We provide training and consulting in Policy Governance™ and can help your board do what it's supposed to do and not make the usual mistakes made by well-meaning but untrained boards. In his book, Boards That Make a Difference, Caver describes these errors: 

• Time spent on trivial matters—items of trivial scope or importance get too much attention
  
  
• Working on a short-term time horizon—dealing with items that have near term or even dealing with items that have passed;

• Taking a reactive stance—reacting to staff initiatives;

• Reviewing, rehashing and redoing—going over things staff has already done;

• Leaky accountability—boards allow accountability to leak around the CEO

• Overload—being overwhelmed by the detail of the organization’s operations

• Rubberstamping—boards doing what they are told by the CEO           

LMAG can provide guidance and facilitation in your board’s strategic activities.
