Board Meetings > We Aren’t Getting Anything Done In Our Meetings! > Facilitation Skills

Is the person leading your meetings not helping your board make progress?

Do your board meetings have

  • lots of lectures or dull reports?
  • a lack of conversation or questions?
  • many contentious debates or heated conflicts?
  • attendees who haven’t read the materials?
  • materials presented at meetings that should have been sent in advance?
  • individuals who don’t feel empowered to speak up and share their thoughts?
  • a lack of positive energy or social engagement?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, the person leading your meetings may need some help with facilitation.
