quote from 1962 mets coach, Casey Stengel. lost over 120 games
NGOs are not well run
key takeaways:
organization must make path to management short. not until you are 50
subscription as a revenue source. what do they get in return? how do you make it effecient.
discussion:
too much time on governance issues.
over layered. too many committees. take too much time. 65%. time to innovate?
labor intensive approach to decisions.
boards
roles and responsibilites not defines
‘set the tone’ employees look for leadership of which they are proud.
board school.
measuring effectiveness. on projects, good job. on organization, not so
formal ceo evaluation. critical, well defined and understood
modeling behavior – non hostile behavior
are boards enabled by the staff? staff needs also to create friction. if they do not disagree, boards perpetuate their power
donors on the board? if they are experts, yes? o/w perhaps advisory board
