Back to Episodes44: Helping or Hindering? How Great Boards Respect Boundaries (4 of 8)
Description
It doesn't take conflict to weaken a board and CEO relationship. Sometimes it starts with people who genuinely want to help.
In this episode of Nonprofit CEO Spark, I share a story from my coaching work that highlights how easy it is for well intentioned board members to step into management without realizing the impact. It's an honest conversation about trust, clear roles, and why respect is about more than treating each other well. When everyone understands where their responsibilities begin and end, the entire organization benefits.
You'll walk away with:
- Why role clarity builds stronger board and CEO partnerships.
- How small, everyday decisions can either strengthen or weaken trust.
- A practical exercise to help your board clarify responsibilities together.
Every episode comes with practical next steps.
