It’s time nonprofits come to grips with the present-day situation. We’re in a pandemic and there is economic stress. The circumstances nonprofits have been thrust into don’t have a clear end in sight and the challenges faced are likely to have long-lasting impact.
Isn’t it reassuring to see the nonprofit sector collaboratively engaged identifying best courses of action as we continue to cope with Covid-19? My continuing series of curated resources encourages organizations to take advantage of the excellent advice that is being shared. Here are three priority categories with how-to guidance for dealing with the Covid-19 challenge.
Leading a nonprofit isn’t easy in the best of times and that responsibility is now radically more difficult because of Covid-19. Adding to the challenge is leaders having to lead their teams remotely and finding overcoming the obstacle of mandated separation requires a different skill set. These six resources offer how-to guidance for remote-team leadership success during a crisis. Thank you to each for the much-needed help you are providing.
Nonprofit and association leaders are certainly in an unprecedented time and the situation is rapidly changing. In many ways, you’re asked to be the calm in the storm. To assist you with the challenges this worldwide pandemic is creating, and to help you guide your ship to safety, nonprofit and association thought leaders are sharing the following resources.
Adopting a goal to achieve board diversity is one thing. Taking action to achieve that goal is quite another. National surveys show that movement toward more diverse boards is just not happening on a broad scale. What can be done to turn the tide of board chairs and nonprofit chief executives voicing dissatisfaction with their current levels of board diversity?
Board members representing diverse communities become frustrated with a lack of full-in organizational commitment to diversity. Dr. Shirley Davis, a recognized global workforce expert who specializes in diversity and inclusion, offers advice for achieving organizational diversity.
Anyone in a nonprofit leadership role is wise to seek out and read resources that will help them grow in knowledge, identify solutions and get creative! Check out the books I’m picking up this month.
Publix isn’t standing still. They are constantly looking for ways to improve. Is it time for your nonprofit to consider a makeover? Here is a seven-question ‘points of difference’ checklist to stimulate your thinking.
Would you like to reach Hall of Fame level of success? Then you will want to follow the right path. In my life I have been lucky enough to receive invaluable leadership lessons from personal and professional relationships with five individuals who have achieved hall of fame level recognition in their professions.
