How do you launch board work with a bang for the new year? Begin with simple gifts of coordination and focus. Start by renewing commitment to the priorities for the year, the handful of big rocks to be moved or challenges to address to move the organization forward. Next, link together the management tools available for keeping your eye on the prize of priority progress: strategic plan goals, annual operational goals, annual board development goals, chief executive performance plan, monthly executive director’s reports, periodic board committee reports, quarterly and annual chief executive performance review and board self-assessment. Throughout the year, stay focused on the priorities, keep management tools linked and the important things will get accomplished. Become distracted, begin worrying about smaller or non-priority items and, well, another year will go by and you will not be certain that appropriate progress has been made. Keep your eyes on the prize. The staff and the community are counting on you !
