CREATE A PRODUCTIVE BOARD
Think about your current board, or one
from the past.
Is the board cohesive and effective?
Are you productive and motivated?
Now, what if your board members are disengaged
or aggressive and argumentative?
How do you feel about attending board
meetings?
Are you satisfied with your output?
Do you give it 100% or find every excuse to
skip a board meeting?
Most boards have a mix of these characteristics.
But what tips the scales one way or the other?
EMOTIONAL CONNECTION
Can one board member make a difference if they are warm and friendly in a hostile
environment?
Board members have a huge impact on each
other.
Emotions are contagious. Each
person’s emotional responsiveness makes
a difference.
Studies show that most productive boards are
those that know how to create emotional
connection.
They create safety for the mammalian brain which allows them to
function and collaborate.
And, share information and discuss concerns
openly.
And, be realistic at the same time.
They don’t let issues simmer.
And, be realistic at the same time.
They don’t get stuck in negative cycles
because they are…
…able to stay accessible,
responsive and engaged.
Positivity and creativity flourishes because they
feel safe.
Emotional connection is what makes the board
a truly productive board.
