As a way to refresh your board, start a few board meetings with one or two of these questions:
- What motivated you to serve on this board in the beginning?
- Why do you care enough to serve on the board today?
- What do you want to do for this organization in the next six months?
- What actually needs to be done first?
- Do our spoken desires align with our mission and vision?
- If we keep doing things the same way, will we be happy with the results?
- What can we do to help things go right before we find ourselves, later, fixing things that have gone wrong?
Hearing each other’s answers and the conversations that follow can be inspiring and endearing. New ideas for progress may be introduced. Concerns or needs may surface prompting positive change.
As always, I am hoping for your every success!
