THE BLIND VISIONARY: PRACTICAL LESSONS FOR MEETING CHALLENGES
ON THE WAY TO A MORE FULFILLING LIFE AND CAREER

By Doug Eadie and Virginia Jacko

Doug Eadie

BUILDING A ROCK-SOLID PARTNERSHIP WITH YOUR BOARD:
A REAL-LIFE, PRACTICAL GUIDEBOOK FOR NONPROFIT AND PUBLIC CEOS

By Doug Eadie

Building a Rock-Solid Partnership With Your Board



Meeting the Governing Challenge

Drawing on his work with hundreds of nonprofit and public organizations of every size and purpose, governance expert Doug Eadie describes how board-savvy CEOs effectively manage the human dimension of the board-CEO relationship. Using real-world case examples, he describes these five keys to building a rock-solid partnership between the organization’s CEO and the board of directors: 1.) Bring the right mindset to the governing arena; 2.) Make the board chair a close ally; 3.) Turn board members into strong owners; 4.) Make the board’s work more interesting and enjoyable; and 5.) Put a well-designed CEO-evaluation process in place.

The perfect companion volume to Doug’s Meeting the Governing Challenge, this book provides tested, practical guidance that you can put to work today in helping to manage the emotional/psychological dimension of the CEO-board relationship. The author goes right to the heart of the issue: CEOs can do a stellar job of managing the technical requirements of their jobs but ultimately fail because the partnership with their boards unravels over human, interpersonal issues. Doug’s new book places board partnership building at the top of the CEOs list of high-stakes responsibilities.

Nonprofit leaders who want their nonprofit organizations to thrive in challenging times will learn how to keep their relationship with their boards close, productive and enduring. They’ll learn how to employ empowering strategies and programs—outlined in Doug’s book—that will lead to closer collaboration with their boards in such key areas as strategic and operational planning; performance monitoring; and external relations. CEOs will learn to harness the extensive knowledge, experience, and connections that governing boards can bring to their organizations’ Strategic Governing Team, helping to assure their organizations’ long-term success and their own longevity on the job.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Founder and president of Doug Eadie & Company, Doug has spent over 20 years helping more than 500 nonprofit and public organizations to build higher-impact governing bodies, develop stronger board-CEO partnerships, and update their strategic directions. Doug has worked with public and nonprofit organizations of all shapes and sizes in diverse fields, including: association management; health care; aging; education; public transportation; economic and community development; and more.

Developer of the powerful High-Impact Governing Model™, Doug has written 18 books and over 100 articles on board and chief executive leadership and strategic change management. Doug’s columns and articles have appeared in such magazines and journals as American School, Associations Now, Economic Development Journal, Nonprofit World, Passenger Transport, and School Administrator. Doug has presented keynotes and workshops at annual meetings of the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging, the American Association of School Administrators, the American Bar Association, the American Society of Association Executives, the International Economic Development Council, and the American Public Transportation Association, among others.

INNOVATIONS IN CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION: STRATEGIC APPROACHES TOWARDS WORKFORCE COMPETENCIES AROUND THE GLOBE
by Kathleen P. King

Kathleen KingThis book is designed primarily for potential and in-service vocational instructors who are pursuing a program of personal and professional development which will ensure competency in this specialty. In any state in the United States, there are a number of uncredentialed instructors who teach courses in vocational education. Although these individuals may be competent enough in their subject areas, there is an obvious deficiency in the foundations of vocational education. Foundations of vocational education help vocational educators lay a solid foundation from which they can better help students hold aloft the banner of the full range of education for work, which is career and technical education in its modern sense.

by Kathleen P. King, Victor Wang

KEEPING PACE WITH TECHNOLOGY, VOL. 1
EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY THAT TRANSFORMS
(K-12 TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT)

by Kathleen P. King

Kathleen KingIn this book the author presents a new model of the potential for staff development — "A Journey of Transformation." The model provides a unified perspective for professional development in educational technology; this text explains this perspective's relevance, power, and promise for K-12 educators. Going far beyond theory, this book is rooted in experience and research among teachers. Given the needs of this context, it also provides recommendations, guidelines, and strategies for professional development in education technology. The book relates how teachers move from teacher-center teaching and learning to a learning-centered model. It provides an opportunity for teachers, administrators, and staff developers to look at staff development as much more than technology training.

HUMAN PERFORMANCE MODELS REVEALED IN THE GLOBAL CONTEXT
by Kathleen P. King, Victor Wang

Kathleen KingAs globalization brings different cultures together, human performance interventions and training solutions may be strained by cultures, policies and other lines of thinking specific to a particular country, region or continent. Human performance is high on the agenda of organizations around the globe because they must raise the level of company performance and bring about organizational change in order to continue to survive and thrive in a global economy. What is considered a systematic process of discovering and analyzing important human performance gaps, such as designing and developing cost-effective and ethically justifiable strategies to close those gaps, implementing the strategies, and evaluating the financial results in one country may not apply in another. Human Performance Models Revealed in the Global Context powerfully presents different models of human performance from across the globe, and enables readers to understand a much broader range of interactions, perceptions, models, and possibilities for HR management, training and development.
