LELA 201: Evaluating Manager and Board Performance

 

Boards and managers work interdependently in leading and governing their communities. To work together successfully, both parties must have clear and common expectations about their respective roles and how they will be held accountable. Regular, constructive feedback is important to ensure that both parties do their part to meet community expectations. Participants who complete this program will learn how to develop a successful evaluation process and how to avoid the pitfalls common with board self-assessments and manager evaluations.

Attendees:

This focused, practical course is designed for new and experienced municipal council members and county commissioners. Other members of your governing team, including your manager, clerk, and attorney, are encouraged to attend. You will have time during the class to customize an evaluation tool and process for your own jurisdiction, so please consider enrolling several members of your governing team to receive the full benefit from the course. 

Program Topics:

  • Clarifying expectations for public managers and governing boards
  • Selecting and constructing evaluation tools for managers and boards
  • Planning and sequencing the evaluation process
  • Avoiding common pitfalls with performance evaluations
