Episode 7: Nonprofit Leadership "I'd Rather Sit on a Three-Legged Stool Than a Two-Legged Stool"

Welcome to BrainTrust Philanthropy Powered by ViTreo! Bringing you free flowing conversations with top leaders in fundraising, philanthropy, and the nonprofit sector so that you can become a bolder leader, build better relationships, and raise more money.

In this episode, we spoke with CEO of the RUH Foundation, Arla Gustafson; Vice President, Strategic Consulting at Blackbaud, June Bradham; President of The Offord Group, Nicholas Offord; and Legal Counsel at Drache Aptowitzer LLP, Yvonne Chenier. We discussed leadership in the nonprofit sector, and the conversation was nothing short of spectacular!

SOME OF WHAT YOU WILL HEAR:

  • Change management and change leadership - Are they different? Do we need both?

  • The perennial tension between conservative leadership and disruptive leadership

  • Emerging leadership models that are shaping the nonprofit sector

  • Leadership capacity: how are we training and developing future leaders?

  • Shifting from me to we - why finding your voice in the boardroom really isn’t about you
