"If my Board would only . . . " "Why won't my Board . . . " "How can I motivate my Board to . . . " These are all good questions and many of us have asked them repeatedly over the years. But did you ever think to ask YOUR BOARD what they think? That's what my guest Hardy Smith did -- he's a nonprofit Consultant and author of the book, "Stop the Nonprofit Board Blame Game." Hardy interviewed hundreds of Board members across the United States and learned from them what they need to succeed. When Hardy says "stop blaming" I think better advice cannot be given considering the importance of the partnership between Board leadership and the staff. Hardy shares what he learned, advice for making improvements, and the key elements to successful board relationships. If you work with a Board you need to hear this conversation.
