Governing for Greatness - Dr. James Goenner & Jason Sarsfield, National Charter Schools Institute (North Carolina Charter Schools Conference, 7/31/2014)
This was the presentation I did at the most recent 2009 BoardSource Leadership Forum(BoardSource Annual Meeting) that received the highest ratings of any presentation at the entire conference.
Gallup research shows 70% of the American workforce is disengaged. They say that mission and purpose driven organizations experience higher rates, but what can we do to make that higher? The answer lies in a highly sophisticated management technique called #MBSN or management by sticky notes.
Tom Hood, CEO of the MACPA and Business Learning Institute shares the why and how of MBSN in this special session on "collaboration made easy. Particpation and collaboration leads to engagement which increases trust (7 X according to Gallup) and ultimately yields to the holy grail of engaged people who give you their discretionary effort.
Tom provides exempts of how they have used this at the Maryland Association of CPAs and in their strategic planning work. They used this to design and facilitate the grassroots future forums during the CPA Horizons 2025 project.

A panel discussion considering what the future hold for charities and their governance, and how trustees can support their charities to survive and thrive.
Here we share our progress on updating the Charity Governance Code. Hear from the Code steering group about changes that are being made to the Diversity and Integrity principles following its refresh.
The panel will share some of the proposed changes to the Integrity principle, offering a preview of the updates. They will also reflect on findings from engagement and the extended consultation on enhancements to the Diversity principle. This will be an opportunity for the steering group to share their learning, having listened to a range of experiences. It is also an opportunity to discuss best practice which has been identified through the revision work. Finally, the group will offer an update on next steps on the Code's revision.
We’ve put together this video guide to using the governance wheel to carry out a board effectiveness review. It will be most useful for trustees or staff who are undertaking a board review for their own charity and want to know how best to use the governance wheel to support them in this.
As the charity sector continues to manage the impact of the pandemic, many charities are facing financial uncertainty. In this context many senior leaders, to ensure their charity’s sustainability, will be considering collaboration and merger. In this webinar, in association with Bates Wells, we aim to answer questions such as: When should a charity in crisis consider merging? What are the alternatives? How can you make the best decision for your organisation? You will also hear about a new online decision-making tool which will help organisations chart the options open to them in a tight financial spot.
Normal working practices have changed dramatically in a very short period. Most staff are still working remotely, and many organisations have made use of the furlough scheme. This has meant organisations are having to manage and support staff remotely; review some existing policies to ensure they are still fit for purpose; and manage with a reduced and rotating staff capacity. In partnership with our Trusted Supplier Croner, in this webinar we will be sharing good practice on managing and supporting staff in this new environment. We will be joined by Vicky Scott, Operations and HR Manager at Hackney CVS who will share the experiences and learnings of Hackney CVS in this new context.
The economic impact of coronavirus means that many voluntary sector organisations will be going through a period of significant change over the coming months. For many of the hardest hit charities, the process of restructuring and making redundancies will sadly be inevitable. In this webinar we help organisations prepare for this context.
Entering a new phase of the Covid-19 pandemic, with the option of returning to your workplace, has legal and practical implications for all charities. Employers need to be clear about what they are required to do to ensure the health and safety of their staff and volunteers. Employers are having to consider questions such as: what reasonable adjustments should employers make for their workforce in returning to a ‘new normal?’ How can we prepare for what lies ahead? In partnership with TrustLaw, in this webinar we aim to answer these questions. We will be joined by Sarah Valentine, Senior Associate at Eversheds Sutherland and Andrew New, Head of Education at St John Ambulance.

§ Learning is different for all of us
§ Learning can be found all around us

person
§ Rather, learning how to be a leader is about:
§ Getting better at what we already do well
§ Developing a toolkit of models and frameworks
that can help us to make sense of a complex world
§ Holding knowledge and experience lightly (beware
of experts!)
§ Learning is never done (like most worthwhile
endeavours)
PROCESS + CONTENT = LEARNING
11. THE LEARNING CAROUSEL
Around the room we have signposted some of the many ways we
can learn to lead
You have 20 minutes or so to explore 2 or 3 ways to learn to lead
Go to the signs that energise you most and have a conversation

Ask people what works for them and why. Be specific and be
curious

sense of
ourselves as a
leader

§ Get to know your organisation and the context you work in
§ Have purpose, work out what matters to you
§ Build alliances and networks (knowledge sharing)
§ Invest time in developing yourself and your team (coaching, mentoring,
reading, journaling, have a new experience, go on a retreat)
§ Gather ideas about leadership (theories, models, frameworks), what
works
§ Be open to other ideas - It’s OK to self doubt!
§ Learn to live with complexity and uncertainty
HOW TO ACT LIKE ONE

• Encourage dialogue & involve people in decision-making
• Ask killer questions, listen and observe constantly
• Suspend judgement, gather information from multiple sources before you
decide
• Experiment and innovate
• If you don’t know what to do, ask for help
