10 Questions Every Board Needs to Ask Itself

By Ken Haycock

Ten Questions Every Board Needs to Ask Itself.

No Shame. No Blame. Just Better Governance.
A practical guide to asking what matters and leading with clarity, purpose, and results.

Let's be honest: your board might be busy-but is it effective?
Meetings feel routine. Roles are misunderstood. And impact? Unmeasured.

Ten Questions Every Board Needs to Ask Itself is your roadmap to renewal. These ten tough, transformative questions will change how your board understands its purpose, governs its mission, and defines its role. Each chapter offers clarity on strategy, oversight, and continuous improvement-without guilt, jargon, or fluff.

Written by governance expert Dr. Ken Haycock-a seasoned board chair, CEO, and professor with decades of experience in board development across North America.

Ken's Governance as Leadership work has guided hundreds of boards-municipal, campus-based, sectoral, and membership organizations-toward greater impact and credibility.
