Description

With the appointment of a new Corporate Management Board there is an opportunity to establish a new set of behaviours and standards for how it will operate collectively and individually.

Whilst CMB is capable of defining and agreeing their own standards, processes and behaviours it is often helpful to have independent facilitation to achieve this and to provide support and development.
We are seeking a partner to work with our Corporate Management Board (CMB) to support them in ensuring that they:

• have clearly set out, jointly agreed and committed to, operating practices that enable them to operate effectively as a Board whilst encouraging creativity, innovation and collaboration with each other;
• have set standards for how they will conduct business as a Board and committed to regularly reviewing and improving their performance against them;
• have the skills and desire to reflect upon their own and each other's behaviour as a means to improve decision making and, where necessary, to hold challenging conversations about these;
• understand their individual and collective strengths and development needs against the new ECC Leadership Behaviours and, through appropriate development, have demonstrably enhanced these further; and
• provide an external perspective on how the Systems and Place Leadership approach is being successfully implemented in other organisations, review how the Board is role modelling this approach and develop their individual and collective skills in this area further.
