Boards And Boundaries - The Benefits To Boards In Acting As Boundary Setters
It is not popular to speak of boundaries, particularly in an age when we break down organizational silos and make organizations flatter. Poorly conceived and poorly implemented boundaries have hindered organizations.
Even so, our experience proves the usefulness of boundaries. Roads are boundaries that help us safely get from one place to another. Office space boundaries greatly effect where and how we work. City, state and national boundaries help us to exercise proper authority, settle disputes and live peaceably.
