ELGP 2021 PROJECT – MAKING DECISIONS ON BOARDS FOR EMERGING LEADERS IN GOVERNANCE

Our ELGP 2021 graduates project discussed the topic of decision-making on Boards for Emerging Leaders in Governance. The e-book created by our participants supports emerging leaders on aged care and community boards to make better decisions.  

For emerging leaders on a community board, making decisions can be a nerve wracking and daunting experience. This e-book provides useful tools and processes to build decision-making confidence. This is achieved through the story of Sammy – a hypothetical 35-year-old emerging leader who has recently secured a place on the board of Care67, an imaginary aged care organisation operating in Western Australia.  

Five elements of decision making are explored:  

1) Self-awareness 

2) Board culture 

3) The Why 

4) External forces 

5) Decision-making process 

A summary of each key element is presented, as well as practical ideas and case studies to help put the ideas into practice.
