I’m continuing to explore a series of leadership conversations with nonprofit CEO’s, Executive Directors, and Chief Development Officers across our sector.
With more than 20 years of leadership experience in East Tennessee, Elaine shares great wisdom and insights with us, including:
The importance of humility and how that trait can influence leadership success
Why working in the nonprofit sector shouldn’t mean personally sacrificing
Understanding that as a leader, you’re always under the microscope, and why that requires deep integrity
How to have difficult conversations with employees without destroying relationships
The importance and value of having strong relationships with your board
Navigating the political and relational differences between front-line and administrative staff
The difficulty of parting ways with long-term employees, and how to have those difficult conversations with care and compassion
Your mission is critical. Your resources are finite. You need a partner that can deliver customized, scalable, and relevant donor communications that increase response and maximize net long-term revenue for your cause.
