What if your nonprofit board is temporarily suffering from the bug of listlessness? Does it need a full-blown board self-evaluation? You know, the quarter-pound questionnaire where a consultant is called in and months fly by? Not by a long shot. It is likely your board needs a little self-correction, a conversation or two where they ask themselves some revealing questions. That is Gayle Gifford's uncomplicated approach in How Are We Doing?: A 1-Hour Guide to Evaluating Your Performance as a Nonprofit Board. She provides the questions your board needs to ask. Soon the conversation flows, problems are aired, and solutions take shape. It is quick, it works, and it is just what the doctor ordered.
