Resist Staffing Board With Staff
Generally accepted corporate governance practices are the incubators for frustration, dysfunction and corruption behind the boardroom door. Born more out of misguided notions and concessions to ego than deliberate scheming or ill intent, bad board governance is a widespread condition afflicting private and non-profit corporations everywhere. It also represents Canada's biggest opportunity to surge forward in productivity, progress and profit.

When to Use the Services of a Facilitator
CEOs, leaders and managers recognize that the best decisions are not only the right decisions, but ones that are greeted with maximum acceptance, if not enthusiasm, from those expected to implement them. By fostering a high level of participation by all meeting attendees, creating an open atmosphere, helping a group work through conflict, and exploring numerous possibilities and opportunities, a facilitator can help groups make decisions that are as appropriate and as widely accepted as possible.
