The Board and Chief Staff Officer Disagree

Hannes Combest, FASAE, CAE / August 19, 2024

The Board and Chief Staff Officer disagree on what the next big driver of change they should prepare for in creating their culture of Foresight – What to do?

 Most Boards can only focus on three to four drivers of change at one time, and this is only if they already have a foundation of foresight or preparing for the future.  

The first step is for the Chief Staff Officer (CSO) to reflect on their biases. Is your bias in deciding on which driver of change to focus based on date, personal experience, current headlines, or industry chatter? Challenge your own assumptions before challenging the Boards.  At the same time, you need to be honest with your Board and share your input before considering acquiescing.

It is easy for both the CSO and Boar
