For a board to bring insight and foresight, what facets of wisdom and experience are needed? How should new members be selected? How will financial and theological integrity be guarded? How does the board best work in partnership with the CEO and senior staff? These seven rules are gold. There is no eighth rule, but you can't get by on six.'Full of seasoned wisdom. Brief, sane and practical.' (Charles Clayton of Oxford Leaders. From the Foreword.)To our knowledge, this is the only handbook of its kind and length. We have seen too many tragedies allowed to happen as a result of inexperienced or weak governance. Following these seven rules will enable you to be effective as a board — and to pass on the organization or ministry in an effective and spiritually-healthy state.It is for Board Chairs and board members; CEOs and their senior staff; and with transferable principles for church leaders and church councils.There is advice on setting agendas, on conducting discussion, on handling major issues. It will help board and staff better understand their roles, and their rightful expectations of others.It is priced so each member of the board / senior staff can have a copy.
