I would love to know anyone suggestions about communication between board members outside of board meetings. Often the action items that we decide on in the meetings will play out over the following weeks and get exchanged back and forth over a ridiculous number of emails, and it's led to board members simply not having time to read through them all, and deleting them or only checking those emails once per week; either way not good. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!! ~ j There are some great points in here, thank you!

You just brought it to the front of my mind. We humans often resist decisions because they mean giving something up. (In fact, decision comes from latin de cidi which literally means cutting off other possibilities.) So getting humans to make decisions is best framed as giving them a choice. We don't resist choices. Because choices don't mean giving anything up, they mean legitimately choosing the best option. I heard an interesting take on decisions recently.

I made a bad decision for my family health, because I wanted to cut costs but didn’t realize that it may affect our health (I closed a calorifier in the bathroom, in the winter, and then appeared mould on the walls, which is dangerous for kids). Fortunately, I become aware of it and fixed the problem. Be aware, firstly family’s health and just secondly family’s money! Cheers!
