In the new book Culture of Inquiry: Healthy Debate in the Boardroom from BoardSource, you can learn how to create a culture of inquiry within the boardroom—one marked by mutual respect and constructive debate that lead to sound and shared decision-making. The book details how to develop an environment where board members solicit, acknowledge, and respectfully listen to different points of view; where they seek more information, question assumptions, and challenge conclusions so that they may advocate for solutions based on analysis; and where they are able to voice their individual concerns before reaching a collective decision, which, once made, is supported by the entire board. This book includes tools for creating an environment of trust, for cultivating teamwork, for stimulating dialogue, and for sharing information.
