When considering whether a church has a Healthy and Well-Led Community, your Governance Group should consider such questions as
- Do our leaders understand their roles, authorities, responsibilities and accountabilities?
- Does the Governance Group understand its unique governance role and how to distinguish this from other leadership and ministry management decisions?
- Are there clear policies in place to help navigate key challenges to leadership?
In seeking to achieve these things, it is helpful for the Governance Group to develop policies and practices around
- Conflict of interest and Complex Relationships
A template policy and further information about conflicts of interest and managing them in the church environment can be found on the QB website https://qb.org.au/documents/#1507
