This document summarizes a webinar on managing conflict during and after nonprofit mergers and collaborations. The webinar addressed the top three causes of conflict as underestimating complexity, differences in organizational culture, and poor communication. It provided tips for managing conflict constructively, including listening without judgment, understanding multiple perspectives, and addressing the interrelated issues of organizational culture, communication, and conflict management. The goal is to create a new, stronger combined culture through open discussion of challenges and differences.

Are unresolved conflicts affecting team functioning? Would you like to make conflict a source of growth for your team? Would like a road map to get there?
Managing team conflict effectively is the art of fostering trust, resolving conflicts as they arise and facilitating productive communication. Highly functioning teams can debate challenging topics, make tough decisions, and hold each other accountable for results.
Ensuring employees feel connected, engaged, and energized can provide them with a valuable sense of stability in times of uncertainty. Discover what research can tell us about building and sustaining higher levels of engagement.
The Individual Directions Inventory (IDI) is used to reveal underlying motivations and untapped sources of emotional energy, helping individuals develop a more nuanced understanding of how they approach their world. Learn how the unique questionnaire design yields revealing and reliable data. Explore case studies that illustrate how the IDI can be applied individually, in teams, across organizations, and alongside other assessments to unlock deep insights about drivers that are often buried below the surface.
Trust is the bedrock of self-organizing Agile teams. Trust allows Agile teams to communicate quickly and respond rapidly to changes as they emerge. Without sufficient trust, team members can waste effort and energy by hoarding information, forming cliques, dodging blame, and covering their tracks. A climate of trust provides the foundation for effective team processes, adaptability, and high performance. By paying attention to membership, interactions, credibility, respect, and behaviors, team leaders can stimulate and accelerate trustworthiness and trust. In this session, Diana Larsen describes ways to accelerate trust-building within your team, including a working definition of professional trust, a model for team interactions that leverages trust, ways to recognize when a team has “trust issues,” and skills that help teams develop greater trust.

Difference between groups and teams
Solution
.1. A collection of individuals who have regular contact and frequent interaction, mutual
influence, common feeling fcamaraderie, and who work together to achieve a common set of
goals.
2. Formal Groups- Formal groups are created and maintained to fulfill needs or tasks which arc
related to the total organisation mission. Thus these are consciously and deliberately created.
Such groups may be either permanent in the form of top management team such as board of
directors or management committees, work units in the various departments of the organisation,
staff groups providing specialised services to the organisation, and so on; or the formal groups
may be constituted on temporary basis for fulfilling certain specified objectives. When such
objectives are fulfilled they disappear. These may be in the form of temporary committee, task
force, etc. The working of formal groups is regulated by organisational rules and regulations.
Informals Group- Informal groups, on the other hand, are created in the organisation becausc of
operation of social and psychological forces operating at the work-place. Members create such
groups for their own satisfaction and their working is not regulated by the general framework of
organisational rules and regulations. Thus formal and informal organisations differ from each
other in the following respects:
1. Origin—As discussed above, reasons and circumstances of origin of both formal and informal
organisations are quite different. The formal groups are created deliberately and consciously in
the organisation by the framers of the organisation. On the other hand, informal groups arc
created because
of the operation of socio-psychological forces at the workplace, that is, people while working
together develop certain liking and disliking for others for the type of interactions not provided
officially.
2. Purpose—Since formal groups are deliberate creation, they are created for achieving the
legitimate objectives of the organisation. In fact, formal groups are basic product of formal
ogranisation structure. The informal groups are created by organisational members for their
social and psychological satisfaction. Thus they serve the purpose of organisational members

Organizational Behavior Principles
Sources of conflict:
There are many causes or reasons for conflict in any work setting. Some of the primary causes are:
Poor Communication: different communication styles can lead to misunderstandings between employees or between employee and manager. Lack of communication drives conflict ‘underground’.
Different Values: any workplace is made up of individuals who.

Justin
I work in a small budget office that has four members and is a part of a bigger finance office of 12. Between our small office, communication from the top to the bottom is extremely good and all trust each other very well. I believe our top manager is a strong leader and he creates a culture that embraces working together and encourages us to speak about problems at work if one arises. At the same time, he allows us to take risk and will allow us to work the way that works best for us. Leadership does not care how we get to a point as long as the end goal is achieved which does allow us to feel empowered. If we have a question, they just want us to work together to try and search for the solution but will help us once we give our thoughts or if it is time sensitive.
I do think we share a common interest or vision to provide strong budget advice to our commanders and resource advisors so they can execute their budgets legally and efficiently. I do see issues with personal goals getting in the way from time to time though. I think we build such good relationships that leadership hesitates to say anything when someone does focus on their own self-interest over the goals of the office. I find it interesting that some studies actually show leaders that promote a little value in promoting self-interest usually increases the follower's trust in the leader (Scherwin, 2009). I see this in our office. Our leaders help us with promotion, take care of family, and urgent personal tasks when time allots. I honestly think it encourages us to work harder towards the shared goals of the office when the work load is heavier and to have each other’s backs.
No office is perfect and always can improve. Leaders should always be pushing for improvement and looking for ways to improve any part of the group. For the finance office I work in, I would recommend that the leaders do try to make accountability more of a factor. Many times, leaders in the larger office will not ...
Module 3 ConclusionThrough this module’s online lectures and textb.docxraju957290
Module 3 Conclusion
Through this module’s online lectures and textbook readings, you analyzed how values and ethics are developed. You also evaluated the importance of accepting and managing diversity effectively.
Here are the key points covered:The six value orientations—individualism or collectivism; preferred personality; view of human nature; human-nature relationship; power distance; long-term vs. short-term orientation—all influence how individuals and groups understand and respond to the world, which in turn, affects how they interact with others.In addition to being truthful, ethical communication involves deciding which information can and should be disclosed or withheld as well as assessing the benefits or harm associated with specific messages.Truthfulness plays a fundamental role in ethical communication due to two reasons, you expect messages to be truthful and messages have consequences. The ethical consequences of sharing or withholding information depend on whether it is likely to help people to make informed decisions or not. A message is considered legitimately private when other parties have no right to expect access to it. Finally, to be an effective communicator, you have to discern the benefits or harm associated with your messages.The process of determining ethical choices and decisions can be based on both individual perspective and communal perspective. When ethics are discussed in an organizational context, the rights of the individual, such as the right to free speech or privacy, assume importance. However, a communal approach focuses on the common good or the best interests of the entire community. The morality of an action is assessed based on its consequences for the group.The three barriers to accepting diversity include preconceptions or lack of knowledge, stereotyping, and prejudice. These internal barriers however, can be overcome by increasing motivation, increasing knowledge of self and others, and avoiding stereotypes.Diversity can enhance your interpersonal effectiveness by increasing your opportunities, enhancing your abilities at work, and improving your self-awareness.
Diversity; Interpersonal Effectiveness
Learning about and accepting diversity can improve your interpersonal effectiveness and increase your personal and professional opportunities. It also allows you to widen your circle of friends and acquaintances and may even open up new business opportunities by helping you work in or manage diverse work groups.
Learning about diversity can increase your effectiveness at work. It can also help improve your ability to communicate with colleagues and customers or clients who differ from you. This may pave the way for organizational rewards and opportunities. In addition, accepting diversity and honing your skills in this area can enhance your self-awareness. Part of accepting and understanding diversity is the ability to understand and critique your own cultural beliefs and values. This understanding ...
Shared Leadership: A Tool for Innovation, Engagement, and InclusionMax Freund
For years, nonprofit leaders have questioned the utility of traditional models of top-down staff leadership structures. But the growing body of research on alternatives – from co-directorship to distributed leadership to self-organizing teams – has been difficult to sort through. In this highly participatory session, participants will explore emerging models, the research on what works (and what doesn’t), and how capacity builders can help organizations adopt leadership structures that work. As the session exercises build upon the previous ones, participants are asked to attend the full session.
Session offered at the 2015 conference of the Alliance for Nonprofit Management by Mike Allison (Michael Allison Consulting), Sean Thomas-Breitfeld (Building Movement Project), and Max Freund (LF Leadership).
Nonprofits today are faced with unprecedented challenges, and yet we continue to approach board leadership using concepts from thirty years ago. As our organizations enter into new territory, so our boards need to lead differently - yet we continue to put our efforts into getting the structure 'right'. But there is no magical number of board members or committees, or use of Robert's Rules of Order or Consent agendas, that will transform our boards into the strategic thinkers or powerful decision makers they need to be. Instead, structure must be seen as only the foundation - and board behavior and dynamics approached in a new way - to lead effectively into the future.

Building your brand – A practical guide for nonprofit organizations4Good.org
This "brand 101″ session is designed to help nonprofit leadership and board members understand the basic concepts around developing and maintaining a strong brand.
Many entrepreneurs – social, triple bottom line or otherwise – do not avail themselves of all potential capital sources when seeking funding to grow or scale, limiting prospects to cash flow their initiatives. This seminar explores a range of options for funding: external in the marketplace, internal within an organization, new ideas and classics not to overlook.
Most nonprofits involve volunteers in program areas and administrative areas. You might not be aware, however, of the many ways you can involve volunteers in your fundraising activities. This webinar will outline ways you can involve volunteers in fundraising, where to find volunteers, how to recruit them, and how to keep them enthused about your organization.
Could your mission statement describe any of several other organizations that are similar to yours? Do you just haul it out once a year for your annual report and 990? If you’ve been around for many years, you’re clear about your nonprofit’s value to your community, your stakeholders and/or your cause, why bother to revisit your mission statement?
The answers to these questions can make the difference between sustainable success and failure in several ways. Organizations that have a page-long mission statements and think that any effort to review it would be just empty wordsmithing may want to join us for this webinar to see what a rigorously crafted mission statement can do for marketing, fundraising, stakeholder loyalty, strategy, and managing change.

What do you do when someone signs up for your email list or donates to your organization? Do they have to wait until your next “monthly” newsletter to learn more about who you are and what you do? If so, you are missing out on a huge opportunity to engage, inspire and motivate your supporters to take action.
One of the best ways to engage with new subscribers (or new donors for that matter) is to create what is called a “Welcome Series” of emails. These emails are set to automatically be sent to the individual over the course of a few weeks – Day 1 they get an email, day 4 they get another email, day 8 they get yet another email, etc. These emails are designed to introduce yourself and your organization to the individual, as well as show them the impact your organization is having and why they should stay connected.
Sounds like a great idea and something all nonprofits should be doing right? The problem is that most nonprofits are not currently using a Welcome Series and are missing out on this powerful tool. If this includes your organization, then join us for this jam-packed webinar where we highlight a number of successful strategies and tactics you can start using immediately including:
- Why a Welcome Series is so powerful (Its all about the relationship)
- How to create an engaging and compelling Welcome Series
- How and why you should have multiple Welcome Series’ – subscribers, donors, attendees, etc.
- How a Welcome Series can increase your donor retention

Mission and Leadership: Work Motivation That Strikes a Chord4Good.org
Most organizations have a formalized mission statement. Too often it is merely posted on a wall in the conference room. Often, employees grow cynical and state that the organization’s mission statement is just that: an empty statement. However, other organizations follow a structured process that allows their managers to lead with integrity while using the core principles of mission-driven organizations.
In this extremely practical presentation, that Dr. Eyal Ronen has never shared in the past, he will describe the practical steps to creating a clear mission, vision, and values for the organization. He will also describe the 4 things every leader must do in order to be effective in accomplishing his or her, and the organization’s mission.

Have You Been Sequestered?—Developing Diverse Sources of Revenue4Good.org
Many nonprofits are excessively dependent upon a single type of revenue. The classic example is the organization which is only funded through government contracts or grants. Others may be totally reliant upon one or two private foundations or local corporations. In this webinar, volunteer leaders, agency CEO's and chief development officers will learn the value of diversifying the sources of revenue so as to enhance financial sustainability.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Managing Conflict:
During (and After) Non-profit Mergers and
Collaborations
6. Today’s Takeaways
The top three causes of conflict during
mergers/collaborations and how to avoid them
How to manage conflict in ways that bring deeper
issues, concerns and understanding to the surface
A process for successfully managing the three C’s of
collaboration and merger: communication, conflict
and culture
7. Addressing the Human Element
Allows the merging of operational and technological
functions to happen more easily.
When the human element isn’t fully addressed, results
can include:
employee disengagement
systemic organizational conflict
a merger or collaboration that falters
8. Top Three Causes of Conflict
1. Complexity of the process is underestimated
2. Differences in organizational culture
3. Communication isn’t clear, effective or affirming
9. Complexity of the Process
Planning doesn’t start early enough in the process or
doesn’t capture the necessary level of detail.
Successful plans address:
- executive and name identification
- governance structure
- how staff and systems will integrate
- communication planning
- analysis of cultures
- legal and financial issues
10. Differences in Organizational Cultures
Culture develops over time as:
organizations integrate individuals into the larger
whole
as they adapt to the (often changing) external
environment.
Over time, organizations create a set of shared
assumptions and beliefs we call “culture”.
11. Differences in Organizational Culture
No two organizations share exactly the same culture
– just as no two families are alike.
Research shows that cultural alignment can be the
most challenging aspect of a merger or collaboration.
Failure to create a new culture can derail the merger
or collaboration process.
12. Communication Isn’t Clear, Effective or Affirming
Effective communication:
Sets expectations, maintains credibility, and
reinforces trust among staff and other stakeholders
A communication plan helps reduce resistance, fears,
and changes beyond employees’ control
The goal is to prevent misinformation and drama.
13. How to Manage Conflict
When conflict occurs, it can be used as an opportunity:
To surface deeper issues and concerns
Create understanding that moves organizational
functioning forward
To understand the change that is trying to occur
14. Tips for Managing Conflict
Seek to understand by listening, asking questions
and acknowledging others’ point of view
Give others a chance to tell their story without
interruption
Stay off of the “Four Horses of the Apocalypse”:
Stonewalling, Defensiveness, Blaming/Criticism,
Contempt
15. Tips for Managing Conflict
Listen for and document agreements.
Where do we agree?
Listen for and document differences.
What’s most important?
What do we need?
What can we each give?
What needs to be addressed?
What’s not clear?
16. Tips for Managing Conflict
Phrases to use:
What’s really important to me is…
I need help with…
What I find most challenging is…
17. Tips for Managing Conflict
Try to bring empathy into conflict. Even when it
doesn’t look like it, people are often doing the best
they are capable of doing at a particular moment in
time.
This isn’t an excuse for negative behavior.
Empathy can allow for objectivity and alternative
perspectives to emerge.
18. Tips for Managing Conflict
Invite people to step outside of the situation:
“If we were on the outside looking in, what would you
see? What would we say about what we observed?”
The goal is to bring deeper understanding and new
perspectives.
19. Tips for Managing Conflict
During times of change and uncertainty, it’s easy to
get rooted in a position or perspective.
Encourage people to make a list of perspectives.
Without judgment, what are five or ten other ways to
view this situation?
20. Manage the three C’s:
Culture, Conflict, Communication
Culture, communication and conflict – Which
comes first?
Because they so deeply affect each other, it can be
difficult to address one without addressing the other
two.
21. 1st C: Culture
Culture is everything that surrounds the workplace –
values, attitudes, behaviors, beliefs, norms and that
define and influence how an organization operates.
During merger and collaboration, the goal is to create
a new culture together.
22. Cultural Issues to Address
Business environment and organizational strategy
Skills that are valued
Ongoing rites and rituals (spoken or unspoken)
Style of staff – close, distant, collaborative, siloed,
mission-driven, creative, analytical
The ways information is communicated
Hierarchical or flat structure?
What are the core values?
Management style
Decision making: formal, informal, ad hoc
23. Ways to Address Cultural Issues
If these cultural issues needs to be addressed,
organize a meeting to discuss. Identify the right
stakeholders to participate in the meeting. Focus on
where there’s cultural “agreement” and where there
are cultural “gaps”.
Assess the state of your new organizational culture.
How is it functioning? Are staff comfortable? Is a
new identifiable culture emerging?
24. 2nd C: Communication
Part one: Assessment
What’s the communication plan?
Who owns it?
How is it working?
Is communication clear?
Are people engaged and comfortable?
Are they confused, overwhelmed or apprehensive?
25. Communication Guidelines
Part two: Communication Guidelines
Are communication guidelines in place? Guiding
principles can include:
Values (respect, truth, clarity, seek to understanding,
effective listening)
Time frames (responding within 24 hours business
hours)
26. Communication Guidelines continued
Methods (when to email, when to speak, how to
conduct important conversations)
Handling important conversations (includes known
conflict, content could be emotionally charged,
complex or easily misinterpreted)
27. 3rd C: Conflict
Conflict signals a need for improvement, situations or
relationships that need attention or aren’t working.
Having a set of Conflict Guidelines in place can be
helpful: “In our organization, here’s how we handle
conflict…”
28. Address Conflict
Address conflict by:
Scheduling a time to talk
Preparing for the conversation
Seeking to understand
Asking questions
If you need help, ask for it – your manager, your
human resources representative, an outside
consultant
29. Tips for the 3 C’s
Below are concrete steps:
Identify who can shepherd culture, communication
and conflict. A leader? A manager? An outside
consultant?
If you are a leader, what attention do you need to
devote to communication, culture, and conflict?
Suggest a course of action to the leaders in your
organization.
30. Tips for the 3 C’s
Be solution-focused. Select one area to address first.
Making a positive shift in one area will often lead to a
positive changes in the other two areas.
Small shifts can make a big difference – what’s one
small change that can be made?
31. In Closing…
A successful merger or collaboration is one in which
the new organization is more robust than the sum of
its parts.
It’s a new organization in which people address
differences by saying “Isn’t this interesting? Let me
investigate?” instead of “I don’t understand this.”
