In the first article in this series, we emphasized the importance of the leadership funnel in ensuring leadership continuity through the inevitable personnel changes implicit in a volunteer leadership structure. As Chair of the COT, you already know that excellent people are the precondition for excellent performance. However, they are not sufficient. Determining what “excellent performance” is (execution) and holding committee members and Trustees accountable to that performance is equally important. This recognizes the reality that the school’s volunteer leaders have a limited amount of time to carry out their responsibilities—maybe 60–80 hours a year for a complex task. We recommend that you lead the Committee on Trustees in carrying out four tasks: self-monitoring, reminding, measuring, and maintaining accountability.
