Principles for Good Order

Creating Organizational Harmony Through Effective Governance

Good governance shouldn’t be complicated.

Yet too many boards struggle with unclear roles, competing priorities, micromanagement, and confusion about who has authority to do what.

Principles for Good Order presents a practical approach to governance built around ten enduring principles designed to bring clarity to the relationship between a governing board and the leaders it empowers.

The goal isn’t simply better board meetings. It’s an organization in which the board can govern confidently, leaders can lead effectively, and everyone can focus more energy on accomplishing the mission.

That’s organizational harmony.

Who is this book for?

Principles for Good Order is written for board members, executives, pastors, ministry leaders, nonprofit leaders, and others who want a clearer and more effective way to govern mission-driven organizations.
