10 | little g Governance
from Build Better Boards Hosted by Build Better Boards
In this episode of Build Better Boards, hosts Mitch Majeski, Dr. Keri Jacobs, and Richard Fagerlin dive into little g governance—the behaviors and culture that shape a board’s effectiveness. While big G sets the structure with bylaws and policies, little g determines how well a board actually functions. Big G vs. little g: Structure matters, but so does boardroom culture. Healthy boards balance trust, curiosity, and meaningful discussion. Creating a Strong Culture: Boards thrive when members feel safe to challenge ideas, ask questions, and engage fully. Practical First Steps: Define your ideal board culture, identify what’s holding you back, and commit to better boardroom behaviors. Follow Build Better Boards on LinkedIn for updates.
