I was reading a blog about the next generation of nonprofit leadership in the Stanford Social Innovation Review. The author's main point was that the next generation of leaders needs help. It appears there is a belief that the mission matters more than the people.
Since the staff support the mission, they become the organization's biggest asset. Just as you manage your other assets, I believe you must invest in the growth of your staff's capabilities. This investment comes in the form of; mentorship, personal fulfillment, leadership grooming and teaching them how to build relationships with people important to your organization.
Let's show the staff they matter, and I believe, they will show us a world of nonprofits we never imagined.
This is Marshall Howard reminding you . . . giving goes where the relationship flows.
