A fabulous thread here from @HoyleRosemary on the role of the Chair ⬇️ #bigquestions #VisibleGovernance @UKGovChat @IGovS1 @Wakefield_TS @DevonGovernors @NCOGSnews @thesarkyclerk
That's a VERY big question! When I get up I'll post some thoughts from some research papers I was working with yesterday ... but one thing I've read recently, that I like a lot, is the idea of CoG as enabler - enabling board and exec leaders to do their best for the organisation.

Advice for all boards: "Before an issue is discussed, all members should be asked to write a summary of their position. This makes good use of the diversity of knowledge and opinion...[and reduces] too much weight given to those who speak early/assertively..." #ukgovsread (p.85)

The latest @Ukgovsread slow read so far confirms we should ensure trustees aren't hungry when making important decisions, cake really DOES help (the best news!), and more movement during meetings would be a good thing. Not sure they need us checking pupil dilation rates though!

Governance professionals are problem solvers and act as organisational memory, ensuring compliance, maintaining ethical considerations and advising on solutions. Always be open to study - you are at liberty to use the resources provided by the Chartered Governance Institute.

If someone on the Board makes sure newcomers feel comfortable and welcome, they are more likely to stay and contribute well. Small kindnesses bring us together and we're more able to deal with the tough stuff as a team.

A fabulous clerk to governors is worth their weight in gold. A relatively quiet role often overlooked in the smooth running of a school but my goodness me they are wonderful.

Love this quote @NGAMedia. The power of effective governance right here 👇
#ngaconf @diana_osagie talking about changing the narrative for disadvantaged young people: "it was my governing body who gave me permission to be the leader I became"
