The best governing boards have:
- Foresight – they ensure a cultural and practical framework for longer-term and strategic planning for the institution.
- Oversight – they embrace the concept of “noses in and fingers out.” They ensure that progress is being made on important outcomes and they ask what is needed to gain additional successes.
- Insight – they are willing to share their knowledge, influence perspectives, intelligence, relationships, and networks in order to advance the institution’s mission and fulfill the vision.
The best governing boards have their “sights” narrowly set on enhancing the outcomes of the institution. If there are other agendas or motivations that are animating the board room, the institution will never achieve its highest destiny.
