 By David A. Bjork, Ph.D. Managing Director, Clark Consulting—Healthcare Group
This is the second in a series of collaborative leadership tools for CEOs. This tool focuses on clarifying trustees’ and CEOs’ expectations of each other. It includes a simple exercise for helping trustees and CEOs refine the way they work together.
Overview:
Boards of non-profit hospitals and health systems expect to be more engaged now than they were in the past. Because boards in all sectors are being held to higher standards of performance and accountability, they want to be more actively involved insetting organizational strategy and goals, resource allocation, capital financing, investments, and executive compensation and have significant influence on executive succession planning, clinical quality, and external relations.
Collaborating successfully to address these important issues requires that CEOs and boards clearly define and share their expectations of each other and of their leadership partnership. This collaborative leadership tool helps CEOs lead the way in working with the board to establish and communicate mutual expectations.
