Hospital and health system trustees must provide effective strategic leadership in a
dynamic and rapidly changing environment. Trustees are most effective when they
are able to interpret and analyze information, challenge assumptions and conventional
wisdom, and provide intelligent, well-informed, knowledge-based strategic leadership.
Continuous governance knowledge building can be the difference between a high performance,
high-impact board of trustees and a board that does not fully tap into its
leadership potential.
