Manager Approach

Choose how strongly your day-to-day management will follow the board's identity. Results still matter, but openly rejecting the club vision increases pressure.

The board will judge actions over time, not only the selected approach.

Formal Board Review

A formal review updates the Club Identity objective in the Board Room and can change confidence and long-term trust.
