Creating a Board Culture of Inquiry
BoardSource describes a “culture of inquiry” as follows:
"a board that fully enlists differences of opinion, unique vantage points and areas of expertise, and deep, informed questions to cultivate strong collective wisdom.
By doing so, boards with this level of inquiry engage and energize their members, use meeting time productively, own and support their decisions, embrace ongoing board development and growth, and ultimately make better decisions.
Without a culture of inquiry, the same board can risk group-think, inertia, disengagement, and poor decision making."
BoardSource emphasizes the importance of achieving a balanced board by curating the right mix of personality traits that support a board culture of inquiry.
