LEADERSHIP
The 'Facilitative Chair'TM model is a people focused methodology aimed at building collaborative processes and results that focus the board on achieving its true purpose.
​
The struggle for many non profit boards is maximising resources and utilising the limited time together to effectively carry out their governance work while simultaneously setting up the organisation or cause for a sustainable future.
​
A Facilitative Chair is able to harness the power and collective skills of the board by creating a safe environment for all members to contribute, make decisions and take action.
​
