If you’re tired of being frustrated by non-performing board members, make board development the priority it deserves. Making board leadership matter requires taking necessary action to ensure you have the best possible board candidates, providing needed training so they will know what they need to know, and making sure future leaders get prerequisite experience so they will be prepared to lead.
Is your nonprofit one that assumes it knows the preferences of those who support your activities? If so, how certain are you that your assumptions are correct?
Individuals’ reactions to recognition of their volunteer activity depends on characteristics associated with their personality types.
Different personalities naturally respond in different ways. Therefore, depending on the individual, your attempt to motivate could have the opposite effect.
