Board Dysfunction Namer.

Name whether the board is under-functioning, over-reaching, or both, because the reset pushes in opposite directions for each.

Under-functioning (disengaged)

SignTrue?
Meetings are approvals, not decisions
Attendance or attention is thin
No one holds the executive to account
The board waits to be told what to do

Over-reaching (meddling)

SignTrue?
Board members direct staff or get into operations
The board re-decides things it delegated
The executive cannot act without the board relitigating it
Individual members freelance their own agendas

Mostly the first set: the reset pulls the board up into its job. Mostly the second: it pulls the board back out of management. Both: name which area is which.
