Association of Chairs: Chairing Plus - strengthening your trustee team

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.

This is an adapted version of the workshop previously called Chairing Plus: navigating difficult board dynamics.

We will cover:

• Creating a productive board culture so that all trustees are able to give their best for the benefit of the charity
• Setting and managing expectations of trustee behaviours
• Laying the foundations for better teamworking
• Building 1 to 1 relationships with your trustees
• Giving and receiving feedback
• Useful tools and approaches when behaviours do not meet expectations
• Managing difficult dynamics
