Scenario
Executive Director: I’m having a hard time with Mary. I really think it might be time
to let her go.
Board Chair Thought Balloon: What have you been waiting for? Mary is
incompetent and scorching the earth!
Mature Board Chair Response: I have seen some evidence that she is a
challenge. Happy to offer some input here if you like. What do you need?
E.D. Thought Balloon: I really want to know but I sure don’t want my board
chair in my staffing decisions.
Mature E.D. Response: Thanks. Your input would be helpful as I make a
decision.
