Lead with Order™
Build a Board That Works — Not Just One That Meets
A 12-week governance coaching program that transforms how charter school boards make decisions, run meetings, and work with school leadership.
Most charter school boards are
- Committed and well-intentioned
- Highly involved
- Still frustrated
Meetings feel busy but unproductive.
Decisions get revisited.
Roles blur.
Micromanagement creeps in—even when no one wants it to.
This is not a motivation problem.
It’s a governance clarity problem.
Lead with Order™ is a practice-based governance transformation that teaches boards how to exercise authority with discipline—not emotion, urgency, or over-involvement.
This program doesn’t just tell boards what good governance is.
It teaches boards how to do it, consistently, meeting after meeting.
Most board training:
- Delivers information
- Leaves behavior unchanged
- Fades under pressure
Lead with Order™ is different.
Â
Boards:
- Learn clear governance frameworks
- Apply them immediately to real decisions
- Practice them with guided support
- Lock them in through systems and habits
That’s why the change lasts.
HOW THE 12 WEEKS ARE STRUCTURED
Weeks 1–8: Visible Governance Transformation
Boards experience early relief as:
- Roles and authority become clear
- Meetings become focused
- Decision-making stabilizes
Â
Weeks 9–12: Stabilization & Continuity
Boards build systems that:
- Reviews and puts learned information and processes into practice
- Prevent regression
- Survive turnover
- Continued progress through monthly meetings ensuring retention
This is where confidence becomes discipline.
