Join our next chair's forum where you'll have the opportunity to hear from experts and peers alike on topics that are pertinent to those leading boards across both the maintained and academy sector.
Board dynamics refer to the complex interactions, relationships, behaviors, and cultural patterns that shape how a board works together to govern. The chair plays a key role in developing board dynamics that are healthy and not dysfunctional.
In this thought-provoking session we will consider:
- Culture
- Challenge, debate and discussion
- Cohesion
- Decision-making
- Power distribution
- Psychological safety
- Transparency
and how to develop healthy dynamics both within the board and between the board and others in the school or trust.
We will look at some of the key practices chairs can employ to improve board dynamics and the actions to consider in difficult situations or when things go wrong.
We will explore the growing litigious nature of society today and what chairs can do to avoid grievances, complaints and whistleblowing actions against them or the board.
We will provide examples, case studies and practical advice to support the development and maintenance of healthy dynamics on your board.
