Board leadership is paramount to creating and sustaining a healthy organization and never more so than during a time of organizational crisis. The board has a responsibility and an opportunity to demonstrate its collective capabilities and strengths in managing change and preventing organizational decline or collapse. Below are some of the key moments requiring particularly strong leadership from the board:

• Executive leadership transitions
• Transitioning from 'Founder Syndrome' to institutional independence
• Capital campaigns and organizational relocation
• Recovering from serious audit findings
• Responding to an unexpected financial crisis
