Getting the right behaviours and dynamics on the board and between board members is an essential ingredient for successful organisations. The Chair’s role in managing these dynamics is key as they have prime responsibility for ensuring the board has a productive culture. This session will provide useful insight and advice on how to set the tone for the board, create expectations of appropriate trustee behaviours, build positive relationships, and manage difficult dynamics.

 We will cover:

  • Creating a productive board culture so that all trustees are able to give their best for the benefit of the organisation 
  • Setting and managing expectations of trustee behaviours 
  • Laying the foundations for better teamworking  
  • Useful tools and approaches when behaviours do not meet expectations 

What to expect 

The session will be held over the online platform, Zoom, enabling you to see the trainer and others joining the session face to face. There will also be an opportunity for discussion with fellow Chairs using breakout rooms, therefore we encourage you to join with your video on if you can.

We aim to be inclusive and know that some people have different needs. If you need a reasonable adjustment for an event, please let us know what you need when completing the booking form and we will contact you about how we can help. You can view our reasonable adjustment policy here.
