A structure for the board chair, not a script to read, that names the drift without blaming individuals and gets the board to commit as a body to the change.
The chair leads this, not the executive. A reset a staff member drives is resented and does not hold.
| Step in the conversation | Notes |
|---|---|
| 1. Name the standard: restate what the board agreed its job is | |
| 2. Name the gap, plainly, without names: what the board has actually been doing | |
| 3. Ask the board why. Let the board say what got in the way. Silence is data | |
| 4. Get the commitment out loud, from the body | |
| 5. Name the first proof: one thing the board does differently at the next meeting |
