Top five elements of board development...

Just the other day, a new president I've known for several years, asked me to email my "top five" elements of board development. My quick, could-change-today response:
  • Learning, applying and appraising the core habit of leading through policy
  • Board as a learning community – peer to peer, solo/individually and as a team
  • Regular appraising of board performance, by members and stakeholders
  • Regular improvement work as a whole team
  • ModelING modelING, modelING the values and maturity of excellence
What are the crucial elements of your team's continuous improvement?   What elements are crucial to your personal improvement?
