Andy Robinson will help you understand the value of succession planning to nonprofits (and the risks of poor or non-existent transition plans).
This presentation covers material from John Maxwell's book, "The 360 Degree Leader." Specifically, the first of six sections is presented, including "The 7 Myths of Leading from the Middle of an Organization" and "5 Levels of Leadership Development."
Leadership is an important skill, but even more important is the ability to lead well. A strong leader inspires, encourages, and empowers those around them. Here we share with you several of the skills associated with successful leaders and what it means to embody those abilities as a truly great leader.
Passed over for a promotion? Lose a big client? Made a costly mistake? We all mess up. The important thing is what happens next. In this webinar, learn how to recover—and thrive—when the unthinkable happens.
Guest Speakers: Lorene Phillips, Senior Vice President, Reinsurance – International Casualty and Professional Lines, Sompo International and Mallun Yen, COO, Partner and Board Director, SaaStr.

* Frustration (following an ineffective leader),
* Multi-Hat (one person – demands and expectations from all quarters),
* Ego (being hidden in the middle),
* Fulfillment (stuck in the middle, when would rather be in front),
* Vision (how to champion it when you did not create it),
* Influence (influencing others whom you do not manage).

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

What is the point of small housing associations.pptxPaul Smith
Given the small scale of housing associations and their relative high cost per home what is the point of them and how do we justify their continued existance
2. Poll: What’s your primary role?
• Executive director
• Other staff position
• Founder
• Board member
• Consultant
• Funder or donor
• Other
3. What’s your organization’s life
span?
Are you a perpetual organization … or are you
working to solve a problem and go out of
business? If so, how long will that take?
4. True confession: In 1986, I
killed my first nonprofit
organization. How did this
happen?
5. • From all-volunteer
group to first staff
member (me)
• Formerly engaged
board backed away
• Staff left, then the
organization
dissolved
6. I failed the first test of leadership:
“How do I empower others to do the
work…rather than do it all myself?”
7. To paraphrase author
Kim Klein, “When you
walk in the office door in
the morning, the first
thing you should ask
yourself is, ‘What am I
going to do today to
replace myself?’”
8. Daring to Lead, CompassPoint, 2011
•74% of nonprofit executives expect to be gone
within 5 years
Opportunity in Change, The Boston
Foundation and TSNE MissionWorks, 2017
•78% of nonprofit leaders (E.D.s, board, senior
staff) expect to leave by 2020
•70% of nonprofits don’t have succession plans
9. Poll: How long do you expect to
remain in your current
position?
• Less than a year
• 1-3 years
• 3-5 years
• More than 5 years
• I have no idea
10. Organizations grow and change – the leaders
you need at one stage are not necessarily the
ones you need at a different stage.
11. Four Stages of Organizational
Development
Adapted with permission from Institute for Conservation Leadership, www.icl.org
12. Founders: Thank you for starting
things! However, starting something and
growing it to maturity require different
skill sets. What’s your succession plan?
13. Baby Boomers (my generation!):
You may need to step aside to open
up space for emerging leaders.
14. Questions to bring to your group
•What leadership skills are required to take our
organization to the next level?
•What barriers prevent good succession
planning? Are we experiencing them?
15. • Personal: Lack of trust, perfectionism
• Organizational: No resources, putting
out fires all the time
• Societal: We value self-sufficiency;
asking for help is considered a sign of
weakness, rather than an essential
leadership quality
Barriers to good transitions
17. Poll: Where are you on this spectrum?
•Default setting is “Just do it myself”
•Will hand things off, but supervise closely
•Hand things off; trust they will get done
•Support others in learning new tasks
•Constantly looking for ways to make myself
unnecessary
18. You need more than one
plan
Contingency plan. What happens if you lose
your leader(s) unexpectedly?
Leadership succession plan. How will you
plan for an orderly long-term transition?
19. Things to include in the plan
•Calendar or timeline
•Will you identify and develop your next leader
internally … or look outside?
•Clarify roles of board, staff, and departing
leader throughout the transition (and after)
•Will you use an interim executive director
during the process? Internal or external?
20. • Communications plan
• Financial plan –
transitions cost money
• Relationship plan –
transitioning
relationships with key
partners and donors
• How will you celebrate
the departing leader?
25. Ten tips for success
If you’re the leader…
•Hand off some tasks you like to do.
•Don’t be a perfectionist.
•Encourage others to learn by trying new skills
and letting them fail.
•Let other people run meetings.
•Listen twice as much as you speak: “Two ears,
one mouth.”
26. If you’re the leader…
•Learn about the cultural dimensions of
leadership – different styles based on culture,
social class, gender, age, etc. Use the
transition to address power inequities and
privilege within your organization.
•Designate a “Shakespearean fool:” Someone
who will tell you when you’re abusing your
power or making a martyr of yourself.
27. If you’re the leader…
•Consider term limits – essential for board,
maybe a good idea for staff leaders, too.
•Think about this task the way you would think
about retirement planning: set specific
benchmarks and deadlines.
•Create a “will” for what you want to leave
behind when you step down, then share it
with others.
28. If you’re NOT the
leader, but you work
with the leader…
•Do your homework.
•Line up allies.
•Start this conversation in the
most strategic way.
•Focus on the long-term
health of the organization.
