"Collaborative Leadership: A New Model for Developing Truly Effective Relationships Between CEOs and Trustees" explores the board/CEO relationship in the context of governance reform, which calls for boards in all sectors to raise the bar on their performance and accountability. This CEO resource discusses what governance reform means, in terms of how boards and CEOs work together to lead their health care organizations. It also provides an assessment tool and process that CEOs can use to take the lead in diagnosing their current relationship with their board, and to work together with board leaders to re-energize and strengthen the relationship to achieve maximum effectiveness and value.

We hope you find this resource valuable in building your relationship with your board in this new era of heightened focus on governance effectiveness.
