(1) the Board and leadership team has and lives by shared values,
(2) the Board and leadership team has and works toward a shared purpose, and
(3) the Board and leadership team actually values differerences and uses them as a strength.
I was dead serious.
1. What are the values which are fundamental to the Board? How do these values guide the Board's interactions? How do the Board members hold each other accountable to live and interact by these values?
2. What is the end-in-mind for the Board? What is the goal or destination? What initiatives are in place to move to that end?
3. In what ways to the members of the Board celebrate differences? What role does diversity play on the Board and in the Portsmouth Schools? How does the Board use differences as a team strength, ensuring that differences help bring about better decisions?
If I am not satisfied with the answers provided during the interview, I will remove my name from consideration for the interim appointment to the Board.
I believe in transparency in government. I hope you do do...
