Are you frustrated with your board's lack of engagement or feeling like they aren’t meeting expectations? Could the real issue be deeper than just pointing fingers? In episode 283 of Your Path to Nonprofit Leadership, board expert Hardy Smith, IOM explores the critical importance of building intentional relationships between nonprofit executives and their board members.
"Frustration with disengaged boards is just a symptom—real progress starts with intentional relationships and clear expectations."
Drawing from his brand new course Stop the Nonprofit Board Blame Game, he explains that board dysfunction is a symptom of deeper issues stemming from unclear expectations, poor communication, and lack of proper orientation. Hardy provides practical solutions for fostering healthier board-staff dynamics, including how nonprofit leaders can model the behavior they want to see and be more intentional in every step of the board engagement process.
