How do you empower and support your subcommittee co-chairs to handle non-performers?
Have you conducted a 360 review of your leadership with your sub-committee co-chairs and staff liaison?
Are you empowering and mentoring your subcommittee leaders and committee members?
Are the non-performers failing to perform as a result of your leadership?

10. Succession Planning
Vice Chairs tend to succeed the Chairs for the next term (but this is never guaranteed)
For Committee Chairs: How are you shepherding your Vice Chair to hopefully be an effective Chair for the next term?
