Governing guest post on Acronym
January 28th, 2010
Just in case you have not seen it yet, I have a guest post up on ASAE & The Center’s Acronym blog. This post, “The new work of governing,” is my contribution to the Governance Month conversation that Scott Briscoe launched a few weeks ago. Here is an early paragraph from my post:
As we begin the second decade of the 21st century, the time has come to change our view of governing from a wanting yet necessary evil with which associations must cope, to a driver of value creation and a source of genuine strategic advantage. We can accomplish this critical shift by challenging “governing groups” (an umbrella term that includes all stakeholders who contribute to the governing process, not just boards of directors) to commit to undertake “the new work of governing.”
I hope you’ll visit Acronym to read the whole post and share your comments. Of course, you’re welcome to post your feedback as a comment below. Many thanks to Scott for his openness to my suggested topic.
