Thought Leadership on Practicing Governance Differently
Our friends at Greenwich Leadership Partners (GLP) have published their new white paper, "The Adaptive School Board: Governance and Learning in a New Era." This paper addresses the changing needs and challenges of the independent school board in recent years. Can we create structures and practices that help boards, in partnership with school leadership, be more effective in leading their institutions? GLP has given significant thought to how we may reconfigure the work we do and how we do it to be more effective and inspirational leaders of our schools.
The White Paper is divided into 4 sections:
Section I: identification of key governance practices and orientations that prevent boards from performing to their highest potential.
Section II: Adapting to new ways of operating, boards (in partnership with school leadership) will prepare themselves for the deeper, higher value governance work that drives positive impact in their communities.
Section III: A new vision for governance that models deep learning and exemplary leadership
Section IV: Substantive recommendations for how boards, together with school leaders, can reposition themselves to continuously learn, build their capacities, and improve their educational institutions.
In this paper, GLP introduces their concept of an adaptive board that incorporates three critical domains: Stewardship, Strategy and Adaptive Leadership. Significant emphasis is place on the board's continuous learning as the key to achieving success; several modalities of learning are described.
We look forward to inviting our friends at GLP to share more about this white paper in an upcoming program.
