Thank you so much for posting this. <br /><br />We all need feedback to improve and when an ED deliberately prohibits or retaliates when a staff person goes to the board, it suggests the individual is definately not looking for feedback.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07302343522812827719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999566886148724041.post-75074552348669590812009-04-14T22:51:00.000-05:002009-04-14T22:51:00.000-05:00Thank you for your comments, I completely agree.
...Thank you for your comments, I completely agree. <br /><br />Amy- Thanks for adding that link! :)<br /><br />Jamie- I agree, when people choose to do nothing, then nothing get resolves and issues never just go away, they fester and get worse.<br /><br />Stephen- Great suggestion, a personnel committee would definetly be helpful. It could be used for ED salary decisions as well, as I have found that that is another issue that there is some confusion about.Nonprofit SOShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13180727771461357699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999566886148724041.post-28984044069855143182009-04-14T15:31:00.000-05:002009-04-14T15:31:00.000-05:00Excellent post.

This highlights the need on a Board of Directors for a personnel committee, or at least a designated person on the Board to handle personnel issues. I have yet to be involved with an organization that did not run into issues like this - sometimes big issues, sometimes small. Having the infrastructure in place ahead of time to provide an outlet is essential. Thank you for this post.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11874365918893856182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999566886148724041.post-32668513692215906522009-04-14T12:04:00.000-05:002009-04-14T12:04:00.000-05:00It's so important for nonprofit staff to know they...It's so important for nonprofit staff to know they have an outlet.

I also think in Nonprofit systems like this we tend to overemphasize the control of the Executive Director. I know she CAN fire everyone, but at what cost? Boards need to understand that ED and staff operate together as a system, in my opinion.Jamie Notterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15576618655078397405noreply@blogger.com
