Making Movement

There are organisations that are led by incumbents who should be encouraged to move on and make way. Some of these are leaders who don’t bring the skills, perspectives or practices that the organisation now needs in order to be relevant, representative and thus resilient for the future. It would also assist trustees to explore these questions in ways that are fair, respectful and legal.

A fully supported package would include:

• HR advice and toolkits

• Guidance to support to hold ‘without prejudice’ conversations

• Job design support

• Culture Change and Organisation Development support

• Peer support programmes to bring together like-minded action-driven Boards to enable shared learning once change has been implemented.

• Financial guidelines related to retirement settlements.
