Governance as Leadership
Governance consultant Cathy Trower, Ph D., has worked with ISCA and its members for a few years now. She has presented webinars and contributes monthly to our Online Discussion Forum. Despite her frequent and valued contributions to ISCA, I realized that one of her best resources for board chairs may not be widely known.
"The Practitioner's Guide to Governance as Leadership: Building High Performing Non-Profit Boards" is certainly a book worth reading if you are serious about good governance. Dr. Trower explains the model of effective governance and explores how to attain proficiency in three governance modes or mindsets: fiduciary, strategic, and generative.
"The book includes concrete strategies that can help improve critical thinking in the boardroom, a board’s overall performance as a team, as well as information for creating a strong governance culture and understanding what is required of an effective CEO and a chairperson."
This practitioner’s guide will help board chairs reflect on governance, discern how to govern better, and achieve higher performance in the process. Dr. Trower's book is available on Amazon. For more details about the book and to order, click on the button below.
