The Carver Policy Governance Guide series includes six booklets that offer board members a description of John Carver's Policy Governance model of board leadership. Policy Governance enables a board to fulfill its accountability to its organization's «owners,» whether the owners are association members, city residents, company shareholders, or a community of interest. Policy Governance addresses the board's engagement in financial, programmatic, and personnel matters; roles of officers and committees; reporting and evaluation; agendas; and other aspects of the board job. Implementing Policy Governance and Staying on Track shows boards how they can apply the principles of the Policy Governance model and change the way they govern in practice. The guide cuts across various aspects of the Policy Governance model and challenges board members to move from concepts to practice. The Policy Governance model is based on the functions rather than the structure of a governing board. It outlines commonsense principles about governing that fit together into an entire system. The practices of the Policy Governance board, which are consistent with the principles, allow it to control without meddling, focus on long-term organizational outputs, powerfully delegate to a CEO and staff, and discharge its fiduciary responsibility in a visionary, strategic manner. Because the model is a total system, the Carver Policy Governance Guide series offers boards a complete set of principles for fulfilling their various obligations.

A partir de octubre de 2019, los dos a?os que siguieron en Chile fueron una monta?a rusa, un movimiento de tierra importante incluso en este pa?s acostumbrado a que se nos mueva el piso. Estallido social, pandemia, un acuerdo pol?tico hist?rico, la peor crisis econ?mica y social en una generaci?n, un gobierno ausente, decenas de miles de muertes por Covid, la rearticulaci?n de un tejido social dormido y una ciudadan?a que, «contra todo, vot? con voz atronadora por un proceso constituyente que hoy est? en marcha». A esta selecci?n de columnas de Daniel Matamala se suman dos textos in?ditos y de mayor extensi?n, en que el autor disecciona los fen?menos y las consecuencias detr?s de esta vor?gine de acontecimientos. Se conforma as? un relato informado y vibrante de esta ?poca, «una crisis sobre otra crisis encima de otra crisis». Una narraci?n que se lee como el diario de vida de un pa?s desgarrado, agotado de la distancia social en todas sus dimensiones, y que sin embargo saca fuerzas, se levanta y se dispone a abrir puertas y ventanas a la esperanza.
