Take out the Trash

Are you asking or telling your volunteers what to do? They are, after all, volunteers.
Welcome to Hardy Smith’s blog, where he shares experience and insight learned through decades in the corporate world and advocating on behalf of nonprofits and associations across America.
Hardy’s mission is to help maximize the performance of nonprofits and associations and their essential leadership teams.
If you’re seeking to triumph over communication challenges, bring meaningful and manageable solutions to, and realize measurable results of your organization, this blog will give you more than ideas — it will maximize your team’s performance like never before.
Are you asking or telling your volunteers what to do? They are, after all, volunteers.
How does your organization communicate its opportunities for leadership nominations? The recruitment process must be intentional. Look to these examples for inspiration.
Do you have an effective process for recruiting board members? Take it from the pros: It’s worth the effort to secure the right board members for the right job. It starts by refusing to settle for less than what your organization needs.
You voted by your interest and dedicated reading of my blog, and the results are in! Check out my five most popular articles, and start the New Year off with focused strategies to help make your nonprofit more effective than ever before.
Why continue to do what doesn’t work? Evaluate your practices to see if they are producing positive outcomes. If they’re not, change them. My speaker colleague Stephen Shapiro has insight how to do just that.
Audiences of nonprofit leaders indicate that few of them engage in strategic planning, yet they know the benefits. Why? It’s a puzzling situation. My own experience that planning is a mission tool in the nonprofit tool box and its reinforced by two significant reports.
Every day dedicated nonprofit professionals are working to help those who have suffered misfortune, aiding victims in need of care, and finding solutions to someone else’s problems.
Volunteers who sign up for involvement in a nonprofit or an association are anticipating a positive experience.
To say Simone Joyaux is passionate about fixing problems in nonprofit board governance is an understatement.
Reading Firing Lousy Board Members by Simone Joyaux is a must for anyone working with volunteer board members.
