Solutions for Developing and Motivating  Nonprofit Leaders

Nonprofit leaders need to balance the countless issues, resource constraints, and challenges they encounter with the performance their funders require — and if they don’t have what they need to succeed, turnover is costly and the mission suffers. The answer? Development and growth opportunities that keep them motivated and equip them with the skills to lead effectively.

As a nonprofit organization ourselves, we understand the special challenges that nonprofit leaders face. We have decades of experience partnering with social sector organizations to design, deliver, and evaluate leadership development efforts that move their missions forward. And our research has identified the most important competencies for nonprofit leaders, plus the biggest challenges, and the proven solutions for developing them.
