Today Mary shares with you a story and some tips, particularly for nonprofit boards, about making effective decisions. Having agreements in advance for the process you will use, especially for high-stakes decisions, helps your board develop as a team. The three steps address:  defining criteria for high and low stakes decisions, decision making rules, and an assessment process.
