Policy Governance enables a board to fulfill its accountability to its organization's \"owners,\" whether the owners are association members, city residents, company shareholders, or a community of interest. Policy Governance addresses the board's engagement in financial, programmatic, and personnel matters; roles of officers and committees; reporting and evaluation; agendas; and other aspects of the board job.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEnds and the Ownership helps boards distinguish between what an organization is for and what it does (ends versus means)—a basic feature of the innovative Policy Governance model. This important guide also discusses the concept of ownership and includes sample policies that can help board members effectively prioritize and govern.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Policy Governance model is based on the functions rather than the structure of a governing board. It outlines commonsense principles about governing that fit together into an entire system. The practices of the Policy Governance board, which are consistent with the principles, allow it to control without meddling, focus on long-term organizational outputs, powerfully delegate to a CEO and staff, and discharge its fiduciary responsibility in a visionary, strategic manner. Because the model is a total system, the Carver Policy Governance Guide series offers boards a complete set of principles for fulfilling their various obligations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolicy Governance in a Nutshell 2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEnds at the Beginning 5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDistinguishing Between Means and Ends 8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDeveloping Ends Policies 11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExamples of Ends Policies 17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Ownership 22\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGetting to Know the Board’s Boss 26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion 31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Authors 33\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Business \u0026amp; management [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Business \u0026amp; management\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Business%20\u0026amp;%20management%20%5BKJ%5D%22\"\u003eKJ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Jossey-Bass","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52276215742744,"sku":"9780470392539","price":16.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780470392539.jpg?v=1781365252","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/a-carver-policy-governance-guide-ends-and-the-ownership-paperback-softback-9780470392539","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
