Understanding trustees' concerns promotes board development.
A hospital's CEO has a major responsibility to promote development of the board into an effective, competent, functioning body. To do so, he must understand the special problems, fears, and risks that trustees confront in the health care setting; allow and expect the board to fulfill its own role; and provide a supportive environment in which the board can function and develop.
