The Art of Good Governance

Seven Rules for Growth and Stability

Quantity

£2.99

Final responsibility for the health of an organisation lies with its Trustees. There are only seven rules for good governance. If one of them is neglected, the effectiveness and spiritual health of the movement or ministry will be jeopardized.

This booklet is for board members, CEOs and senior staff teams, so there can be clarity of roles and of responsibilities.

For a board to bring foresight and insight, what facets of wisdom and experience are needed? How should new members be selected? How will theological and financial integrity be guarded? How does the board best work in partnership with the CEO and senior team?

These seven rules are gold. By observing them, under God, you will oversee—and will hand on— a body effective in its calling, and in a spiritually-healthy state.

With transferable principles for church leaders and church councils, and suitable for all charities, it is priced inexpensively, and produced as a pocket guide, so everyone around the table can have a copy. (36pp). To our knowledge, no other publication does the same job.
