How to Survive—and Thrive—in a Tough Economy
As the executive director, director of operations, chief financial officer, or senior leader of a nonprofit organization, you have a difficult job balancing the demands of programmatic achievement, fundraising, long-term strategic planning, and managing people. In times of economic distress, your job becomes even more difficult as your focus shifts from growth to sustaining the current budget. By using a risk-based approach to leading, you can make your job easier.
In this session, Dr. Anthony Silard will begin by examining the key characteristics of successful leaders in tough economic times. You will then learn some innovative fundraising strategies and design creative new ways to leverage resources for your cause. You will also find out how effective leaders manage people with fewer resources, adopt a healthy relationship toward risk, keep staff morale high in the face of cutbacks, and leverage financial resources and board involvement in a tough economy.
Session Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
- differentiate between leading with passion and leading with compassion and understand the contextual significance of each;
- discuss the accentuated role of leader empathy in a challenging economy;
- identify the strategic shifts warranted in difficult economic times;
