Being a Leader
It takes courage, creativity and commitment as well as a fair amount of know-how to do what you do. No one can do everything, but so many executive directors do and feel a pressure to have all of the answers.
Does this sound like you?
- You advocate for your staff’s professional development but can’t find time for your growth.
- Public speaking feels like a four letter word and you want (or need) to stand behind that podium with courage and passion.
- You’re not sure whether an employee is a candidate for development or departure.
- The tedium of administrivia is really getting you down.
- There’s just never enough time and your personal life is suffering.
Does this sound like your organization?
- Your board needs help to understand their role and tools to achieve their goals.
- When you deliver your elevator speech…eyes glaze and…crickets.
- There’s talent in your ranks but they’re leaving – and you don’t know why. Or worse…you know exactly why.
- You haven’t planned for an unexpected absence of a key leader or any worst case scenario.
