I'm very fortunate to have a forward thinking board which does not believe in micro-management. Unfortunately many boards "out there" can limit the decision making process and slow down the development of the organisation. Disability Direct's strength is a strong board with a strong senior management team which are in regular dialogue about the present and the future. The disability movement is quite righly advocating the need for user-led organisations (ULO's) to talk directly with partner agencies including statutory bodies, yet the movement needs to recognise that there is a need for speedy if not sometimes instant decisions. With the correct level of delegated powers, ULO's can still be effective without running to memberships on every decision!!! Our way works for us, may not for you!!
Agree? Don't agree?
