6 Governance Principles Every Board Should Apply

Whether your board governs a nonprofit, a corporation, or any other type of organization, join Richard Stringham to discover 6 universal governance principles that apply to every board. Are you using Policy Governance? These principles apply. Are you using some other form of governance? Yes, these principles apply. Learn how accountability shapes effective governance and why these principles are crucial for boards that truly add value.

Based on insights from John Carver and Caroline Oliver’s work on governance theory.

At The Governance Coach™we believe that truly responsible boards seek to shape meaningful futures.

  • Your board and management can have distinct, yet complementary lanes.
  • Your board can be confident that it has sufficiently covered organizational risks.
  • Instead of too much time in the past or present, your board can build future foresight.
