Member-serving association boards may be especially challenged by their more complex affiliate structures and a greater emphasis on representative governance. But what does the journey to good governance look like? Markedly different from existing board development books, this modern approach focuses less on the behaviors and qualities of \"high-performing boards\" and more on the stages and processes that directors and their staff used to transform their boards. Based on research funded by the ASAE Foundation, the book fills a gap in the governance literature by emphasizing diagnosis and problem solving, using the actual tools and activities implemented by 85 transformed associations. Combining the credibility of scholarly research with lively and compelling stories, tools, and teachable moments, this book is designed to help associations and other nonprofit organizations achieve the entire journey to good governance, from first to last steps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword Anne Wallestad, BoardSource v\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction and Study Design xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1 Where Does Board Change Begin? 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2 Change and People 15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3 Catalysts and Watersheds 43\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4 Implementing Change 75\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5 Leading Sideways: Influencing Change within the Board 115\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6 Leading Up: The CEO’s Opportunity 139\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7 Leading Forward: The Board Chair’s Opportunity 167\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8 Working with External Consultants 185\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9 Getting the Most from Assessment and Evaluation 197\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion Strategies and Resources for Success 213\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix Tools and Resources 219\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 243\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Authors 253\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 255\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":52421387026712,"sku":"9781118976722","price":31.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781118976722.jpg?v=1784594171","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/transformational-governance-how-boards-achieve-extraordinary-change-hardback-9781118976722","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
