Leadership Transition

Are you a Board Member looking for an Executive Director or CEO to continue your organization’s success or move your organization in a new direction? Is the Board looking for a way to agree on the process, keep your executive search simple, affordable, professional and successful?

We do this with good will and our commitment to the opportunity the excellent new staff we place for you, will bring.

 

The Nonprofit Sector

The Nonprofit sector is a vital force in our communities. Founded by inspired leaders committed to making a difference, led by volunteer Boards of Directors, nonprofits provide resources and solutions where they are limited or nonexistent. In a time of a nonprofit’s leadership transition, Board members are pressed to ensure the viability of the organization and a smooth change for clients, staff and other stakeholders.

Our team is aware of the problems for communities when government and business don’t collaborate and social justice falters. We believe that founders of nonprofits are the people who envision a better community, and when Boards of Directors, staff, and the community help a nonprofit succeed in its mission, our world is a better place for all.

 

Crisis or Opportunity

Leadership transition is a time of enormous change that may make an organization vulnerable or stronger. Getting consensus on process, choice of support and direction can be daunting or it can strengthen collaboration. A time of leadership transition is the most relevant and fertile time for looking at your organization’s place in your sector. Before you make a decision on the mandates and skills for your new leader, you want to know what is possible.

  • What are the newest best practices?
  • What do your clients need and are they getting it?
  • What changes can be made for the realization of your successful future?
  • How can the Board become more collaborative and active without sacrificing more personal time?
  • What is the best way for financial security for your organization’s mission?
  • How do you organize so that you can measure and display your results and impact?

Transition is the right time to answer these questions and take advantage of an opportunity for clear vision, increased collaboration and a successful future.
