And that's why CEOs do It. + + + This post was written by Eric Lanke, an association executive, blogger and author. But we have to do something, because doing nothing is an abdication of our responsibility. And doing something, even if It is not the right thing to do, is always part of the process of determining what the right thing is.

We finance movies and advise the stars on what to do with all their money. Tons of fun, tons.” A smile and nod. An Accounting major, right?” Where is Belford going with this?

So you, as the CEO, you have to be their storyteller. If you need your Board to have a series of connected conversations that lead to coherent strategy and execution, you won't get it if all they do is show up and speak off the top of their heads.

As the President/CEO (we switched away from the "Executive Director" title during my tenure), I always knew that I was the leader of the association, but being reminded that I was directly responsible for its staff team made me take a fresh look at the responsibility. Or to be precise, have been hired in the last 12 years under my leadership.

Tactical responsibility is delegated to the CEO. The “means” employed to achieve the association’s “ends” are the responsibility of the CEO and the staff members and association volunteers he or she assigns and recruits to assist him or her. These ideas were first written down and approved in October 2011.

So much of what I do as an association CEO is about facilitation--about helping a group achieve consensus and determine a productive path forward--that I typically welcome any help I can get on the subject.
