Part 1 book “Nurse on board - Planning your path to the boardroom” has contents: Top competencies for successful board service, planning your path to board service, serving as a productive board member, what's holding you back. | 4 TOP COMPETENCIES FOR SUCCESSFUL BOARD SERVICE Board members who are passionate about the mission bring energy and urgency to the board. In addition to that passion, strong communication skills are very important to truly hearing what other board members are saying, as well as effectively contributing your own point of view and knowledge.

Whether a nonprofit board or a corporate board, money is very important. No money, no mission. Passion and communication skills are necessary for board membership, but successful board service is built on a foundation of other strong competencies, including finance, strategy, and risktaking. NURSE ON BOARD Most nurses will not be seeking to serve on a public corporate board, at least not as their first foray into the boardroom.

The panel identified two sets of core competencies for trustees of hospitals and health systems. The first set includes knowledge and skill competencies in three areas: healthcare delivery and performance, business and finance, and human resources. The panel suggested that all boards, regardless of the kind of hospital or system they govern, should have some members with these competencies. The second set of competencies includes personal capabilities that the panel recommended should be sought in all board members. These competencies describe the kinds of behaviors board members should be able to demonstrate. See Figure .
