Nonprofit leadership is a lonely, grueling gig.
No instruction manual. And few of us get MBAs.
In fact, half of growth-stage nonprofit leaders became CEO in their 20s and were forced to learn on the job. Gartner Research says 85% of all new leaders received no formal management training.
It’s difficult.
It’s unfair.
But our leadership is the deciding factor in fundraising success. In creating a bold brand. In building a solid team. In driving impact.
So let’s set our alarm to these 12 wake-up calls.
And let’s all embrace this tough love from “The CEO Coach” Eric Partaker not as criticism, but as guidance for growth on our collective leadership journey.
Rise and shine.
We got this.
💪🏽💛
