Feel duped? Nope.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s because Ted is a &#8220;goldfish&#8221;. According to Ted, goldfish are the happiest animals on Earth \u2014 because they only have a 10-second memory. Goldfish can shake off the bad days without holding a grudge \u2014 because they can\u2019t remember them.<\/p>\n<p>Ted is our favorite goldfish. He\u2019s not just kind, he\u2019s complex and he\u2019s philosophical. He carries an optimism combined with a keen understanding and curiosity about the people around him.<\/p>\n<p>Plus it turns out that his super power is building teams.<\/p>\n<p>And that is why I think Ted Lasso has <a href=\"https:\/\/joangarry.com\/great-board-chair\/\">all the makings of an effective board chair<\/a>\u2026. It&#8217;s true!<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s talk about why.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>6 REASONS TED LASSO WOULD MAKE A HIGHLY EFFECTIVE BOARD CHAIR<\/h2>\n<p><strong>1. Ted&#8217;s Glass Is Always Half Full<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Maybe even more than that. He can see the good in everything \u2013 in victory, in failing. He has dubbed his core philosophy \u2013 \u201c<em>rom-communism<\/em>\u201d &#8211; a kind of feel-good path with all kinds of bumps and pitfalls but he knows \u2013 he just knows \u2013 that everything will work out in the end. There <em>will<\/em> be a happy ending \u2013 maybe not the one you expect \u2013 but there will be one.<\/p>\n<p>Ted would love being a board chair. He would bring joy to every interaction. He would both play the hand he was dealt and imagine the possible. His joy for <a href=\"https:\/\/joangarry.com\/do-people-understand-your-mission\/\">your mission<\/a> would be infectious. Board service would be hard but there would be laughs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Ted Believes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s one of his mandates for his team: <em>Believe!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As a board chair, Ted Lasso would share a deep belief in the power of your organization to have an impact on the world. And he would use his leadership to remind the entire board that this belief \u2013 this WHY \u2013 will be what will propel them out into the world to be <a href=\"https:\/\/joangarry.com\/raising-more-money\/\">ambassadors<\/a> for your work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Ted Reads People <em>Really<\/em> Well<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can see it in his interactions with Roy, a famous player who\u2019s nearing the end of his career (bad knees) and loves the game (it\u2019s in his blood). Ted picks up on the fact that Roy needs a new role that encourages his passion for the sport and fulfills him.<\/p>\n<p>Like a highly effective board chair, Ted knows how to not only connect with his team on a deep level, but also how to tap into the human resources that are available to him. He\u2019s able to see that every team member brings something unique to the table.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Ted Appreciates Everyone For Something<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You will never hear crickets when you send an email to Ted. That\u2019s because after reading your message, he would think about the content and consider how hard you had to work to make it happen. He would respond, not because he doesn\u2019t want to hurt your feelings, but because he can put himself in your shoes. That is what would compel him to respond \u2014 he appreciates everyone around him.<\/p>\n<p>Closely related, Ted is empathetic in the extreme. And some feel that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/90272895\/5-reasons-empathy-is-the-most-important-leadership-skill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">empathy is the most important leadership skill of all<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Ted Believes Everyone Can Grow<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In Ted\u2019s world, no one is just who they are. He understands that everyone is on a journey. Everyone is growing in some way. He sees that and ignites it in people.<\/p>\n<p>Just take a look at how he moves Nathan, the team assistant, up the leadership pipeline. Ted doesn\u2019t limit his possibilities to being just the water boy. Ted tosses opportunities towards Nathan to strut his stuff. He appreciates the hell out of him (see #4) and by the end of the first season (#1) Nathan is no longer the water boy \u2014 he lands a coaching gig.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Ted Believes In The Power Of Team<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ted has boundless energy. Of course he has his bad days and we see them (his marriage falls apart, he suffers from panic attacks, etc.). But still, he knows that he is not in his life alone. And he knows that everyone has something to contribute. I don\u2019t know what lies ahead for Ted, but on the football (that\u2019s soccer for you Americans) pitch, Ted is not on any path toward burnout.<\/p>\n<p>He does not take it all on by himself. He sees himself as a joyful orchestra conductor in the business of helping everyone make some pretty great music \u2014 no matter what the score (that pun was not intended\u2026 well maybe it was).<\/p>\n<p>Okay, so I know it\u2019s just a TV show, but Ted Lasso definitely gets my vote for <a href=\"https:\/\/joangarry.com\/ideal-board-chair\/\">the ideal board chair<\/a>\u2026 and I have to get the attention of a Board Nominations Committee somehow!!!<\/p>\n<h2>CAN YOU FIND YOUR NEXT GREAT BOARD CHAIR?<\/h2>\n<p>As you consider who should be your next board chair and Ted is (unfortunately) not in the room, could I encourage you to step away from the tactical \u201cwe need to fill X seats by Y date\u201d approach and consider \u201ccasting\u201d for a few people who have a little bit of Ted in them? That&#8217;s how you get an effective board chair.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s all about teamwork, friends. A nonprofit board is not truly high functioning unless it moves from a collection of individuals to a team. A TEAM. Where board members <em>really<\/em> know one another, their personal value, <a href=\"https:\/\/joangarry.com\/roles-board-chair-executive-director\/\">their roles and responsibilities<\/a>. Where the work is clear and everyone believes. Where a culture that promotes the joy and privilege of service is front and center all the time.<\/p>\n<p>If you are not there yet, start recruiting with these attributes in mind. Start building a real cohesion among your board members. Fuel your board with inspiring stories of impact.<\/p>\n<p>And then just believe.<\/p>\n<p>P.S. I have heard that Ted will be with AFC Richmond for three seasons so Ted is not likely to solve your current board chair issues. But after season 3, who knows?<\/p>\n<h2>YOUR TURN<\/h2>\n<p>Is your board chair anything like Ted Lasso?
