Clarify the responsibilities
Review current roles, bylaws, delegation practices, and recurring decisions. Identify where authority, information, or follow-through becomes unclear.
Consulting services / Boards, teams & leadership
Help your board and team lead with shared purpose.
Strengthen the responsibilities, conversations, and working agreements that help people make decisions and carry them through together.
When this support helps
Start with the situation you face.
Board and staff roles overlap, important conversations keep getting postponed, or a leadership transition exposes uncertainty about how the organization should work.
Questions we can work through
- What belongs to the board, the executive director, and the staff?
- Which conversations or patterns keep us from working well together?
- What agreements would help us act with greater consistency?
What we do
A working process, shaped around your organization.
Work on the relationship
Use facilitated conversations and organizational coaching to examine expectations, communication, and patterns in how the group works. Agree on the role of coaching and consulting before we begin.
Practice a better way of working
Develop working agreements, meeting practices, and decision processes. Give people a chance to try them, notice what happens, and adjust together.
What you receive
Usable role agreements, decision practices, and next steps for the people leading the work.
Your written proposal names the deliverables we will produce together. Depending on the focus, they can include:
- A board and staff responsibility or decision-authority guide
- Working agreements for communication, meetings, and follow-through
- A record of decisions, unresolved questions, and next steps
- An agreed focus and review process for organizational coaching when included
How we review progress
Look for changes you can recognize in the work.
We agree on the goals and review points before we begin. These are examples of what you may choose to examine together.
- People understand who decides, who contributes, and who follows through.
- The group can discuss a difficult issue using its agreed working practices.
- Leaders review how the agreements work in practice and make adjustments.
Related questions
The issue may cross more than one area.
