Developing and maintaining a positive working relationship within the board and with volunteers and staff

Positive working relationships

Maintaining a positive working relationship within the management committee and with volunteers and staff, including the most senior member of staff is a very important function of the management committee.

Positive working relationships within an organisation help to get things done effectively.  Conflict in whatever form is destructive and detracts from a normal, productive, working environment.  Committee members need to ensure that they are giving leadership by modelling positive working relationships, as well as taking action to improve things when there are difficulties.  This is part of their duty in ensure their organisations are effectively managed.
