<p>The Carver Policy Governance® Guide series includes six booklets that offer board members a description of John Carver's Policy Governance model of board leadership. Policy Governance enables a board to fulfill its accountability to its organization's "owners," whether the owners are association members, city residents, company shareholders, or a community of interest. Policy Governance addresses the board's engagement in financial, programmatic, and personnel matters; roles of officers and committees; reporting and evaluation; agendas; and other aspects of the board job.</p> <p>Ends and the Ownership helps boards distinguish between what an organization is for and what it does (ends versus means)—a basic feature of the innovative Policy Governance model. This important guide also discusses the concept of ownership and includes sample policies that can help board members effectively prioritize and govern.</p> <p>The Policy Governance model is based on the functions rather than the structure of a governing board. It outlines commonsense principles about governing that fit together into an entire system. The practices of the Policy Governance board, which are consistent with the principles, allow it to control without meddling, focus on long-term organizational outputs, powerfully delegate to a CEO and staff, and discharge its fiduciary responsibility in a visionary, strategic manner. Because the model is a total system, the Carver Policy Governance Guide series offers boards a complete set of principles for fulfilling their various obligations.</p><p>Policy Governance in a Nutshell 2</p> <p>Ends at the Beginning 5</p> <p>Distinguishing Between Means and Ends 8</p> <p>Developing Ends Policies 11</p> <p>Examples of Ends Policies 17</p> <p>The Ownership 22</p> <p>Getting to Know the Board’s Boss 26</p> <p>Conclusion 31</p> <p>About the Authors 33</p><b>John Carver</b> is internationally known as the creator of the breakthrough in board leadership called the Policy Governance model and is the best-selling author of <i>Boards ThatMake a Difference</i> (1990, 1997, 2006).
