Shared Power on Nonprofit Boards with Genita Robinson

"'[Hoarding power] can feel safe for you… but it's not safe for everyone else." - Genita Robinson Seasoned consultant Genita Robinson joins Mia for an in-depth conversation about her work supporting nonprofit organizations and boards. Genita is well-versed and experienced in creating and working with boards of directors who are rooted in equity and thinking about power in progressive and abundant ways.  In this episode, Genita details some common challenges boards face, plus a handful of solutions you might consider if you're part of a board (or if you work within an organization that maintains one).  We also dig into the very common fear of losing power and control that's sometimes hidden behind "urgent" decision-making, the importance of allowing for dissent and disagreement, and what to do if your Executive Committee is making all the decisions behind closed doors.
