One of the most common complaints of executive directors is board micromanagement. When board members blur the lines between governance and management, they inadvertently sabotage the organization. The nonprofit sector is already a high-pressure environment, and when boards meddle in daily operations, it creates chaos, demoralizes leadership, erodes culture, and derails mission-critical activities.
