Leadership Sustainability in Today's Times
Did you know:
- …that studies have shown the average tenure of a nonprofit Executive Director is now 4 years?
- …that less than half of nonprofit executives are actively developing the next leaders?
- …that due to growth in the sector and a wave of pending retirements, some studies have indicated that the sector will need to add 640,000 new leaders, resulting in intense competition in recruiting?
- …that the departure of a key employee (and not always the CEO) can be one of the most disruptive forces a nonprofit can face?
Like all businesses in today's environment, nonprofits are increasingly dynamic and need to be more resilient in the face of change. As a services industry, the core asset of a nonprofit is generally its people and the knowledge they have developed over a number of years. What can executives and boards do to foster greater resilience and leadership sustainability within their organizations? And what is the board's responsibility in identifying and mitigating these risks, and acting responsibly when a senior leadership transition happens?
Join us for a complimentary seminar & engaging discussion led by Emily Hall, President of Olive Grove Consulting, for greater clarity on specific action items boards can take to address these looming challenges.
