What happens when a well-intentioned board starts behaving badly? In this episode of the Pregnancy Help Podcast, Jor-El Godsey and Lauri Campbell unpack the common causes of board dysfunction, from unclear roles and responsibilities to personality differences, power struggles, micromanagement, and disengagement. They discuss the importance of healthy conflict, effective communication, and understanding the distinction between governance and management. Most importantly, they offer practical encouragement for boards and executive directors who want to build unity, strengthen their leadership, and work together more effectively to fulfill their organization’s mission.
