Does Policy Governance apply when there is no staff?
Yes, but because very small organizations normally have less need for a sophisticated system, using Policy Governance may be like using an advanced management system for our housecleaning. The way in which it can be most useful is in helping board members know when they are being a board and when they are being a staff, for different principles apply. For example, as board it is important that decisions be made by the group; as staff, it is important that individual decision-making be as unencumbered as possible.
