New examples, new advice, new ways to think about this work of governing. The conceptual basis for learning and adopting Coherent Governance® to transform your board. “Too many board members focus on adult versus student issues in an attempt to curry the favor needed to run for a higher political office. And, too many superintendents are just trying to get from one side of the road to the other without getting run over. An old Southern minister once told me that ‘some folks rather rule in hell that serve in heaven.’ Randy and Linda have developed a clear, coherent, roadmap for those who really want to change their ‘sinful’ ways!” – Dr. Terry B. Grier, retired superintendent, Houston TX “Coherent Governance has fundamentally changed how our board and administration operate and work together. We are more efficient, transparent and focused on students as a result.” – Paru Shah, President, Shorewood School District, WI “Quinn and Dawson’s Coherent Governance model not only provides an efficient mechanism to achieve role clarification between board members and CEOs, it also empowers boards and executives to work strategically and collaboratively. By making the choice to embrace Coherent Governance, we strengthened our organization by focusing on, and subsequently achieving, the results that mattered most to our members.” – Doug Booher, CVE, Past Chair, International Association of Venue Managers, Dallas TX “Linda Dawson and Randy Quinn have their act together. Their straightforward combination of theory and practical application of Coherent Governance has helped our district, in the second year of implementation, to experience clear board/superintendent roles and responsibilities, accountability, and alignment of student achievement goals.” – Todd Yuzuriha, President, BOD, Evergreen Public Schools, Vancouver, WA And don’t forget our already hot-selling book released in the fall of 2018: The Art of Governing Coherently Mastering the Implementation of Coherent Governance® and Policy Governance® “Dawson and Quinn have created a system that gives impetus and focus to excellent leadership and governance. Their practical wisdom – phronesis – is invaluable to CEOs and boards alike.” – Dr. Naomi Johnson, former chief superintendent, Board of Education, Calgary, Canada “I couldn’t be more clear of my authority, boundaries, limitations, and expectations, while our board has never felt so informed and empowered to improve student learning. This has truly provided us a roadmap to success.” – Dr. John Steach, superintendent, Evergreen WA School District “I am not a fan of mandates in public education, but Dawson and Quinn’s The Art of Governing Coherently should be required reading for all current and aspiring school board members and district superintendents. It is a compelling call and useful guide for boards and superintendents to successfully do what matters.” – Dr. Jon Bales, executive director, Wisconsin Assn of School Administrators “If you are on a school board and things are not going well. Or … something is not right and you don’t know enough to know what is wrong. Or … you just want to do it the right way. Check out this and then call them!” – Richard Clapp, member, Palm Springs Unified School District, CA The authors draw from their combined 70-plus years of experience in working with public and non-profit boards, including work with hundreds of boards using both Coherent Governance® and Policy Governance®, as they present their insight about how to use the models effectively. Their common-sense implementation strategies for helping real boards deal with real issues, and doing it through faithful utilization of their new governing tools, makes this a continuing reference source for boards as they translate theory into practice.
