Governing Board, City Council and Elected Official Development.

The quality of the governing board largely determines the reputation and quality of the organization that the Board governs.  Teamwork between Board Members and the Chief Executive is always the desired objective, but is frequently elusive. 

Taylor-Nelson LLC helps elected officials and appointed staff  become a respectful and powerful team. 

Work may entail off site workshops, teambuilding and planned learning events.

Learning events cover:

Foundations of governance.

Setting the direction, goals and organization strategy.

The role in finance and fiscal accountability.

Role in human resources and organization development.

Principles of leadership.

Dialogue and conflict resolution skills.

Taylor-Nelson has a bias toward creating high impact boards. High impact Boards direct the organization strategy, policy, culture and values.  Low impact Boards are reactive and passive. They mostly respond to staff reports, staff recommendations and constituent complaints.  

High impact Boards attract leaders. Low impact Board attract administrators as chief executive officers.  

Taylor-Nelson LLC has been working with Governing Boards since the 1960's.  They help governing boards become more self aware, more vision-focused, more strategic, more efficient and more effective. They help build the Board - Chief Executive team while staying in compliance with Brown Act provisions.
