Welcome to TransitionGuides
Dedicated to sustaining and strengthening nonprofits through better managed leadership transitions and related organizational development.
A change in executive leadership is one of the most important, challenging and powerful opportunities a nonprofit organization will face.
Change is Coming--On average, more than one in ten executive director jobs turns over each year. That number is projected to climb by 15 percent or more as the baby-boomer generation--many of whom founded core organizations in their communities 20 to 30 years ago--begin to reach retirement age.
Change is Challenging--Under the best circumstances, replacing an executive director is a time-consuming and risky endeavor. The top leadership role in an organization in today's environment is exceedingly complex. Too often these transitions happen unexpectedly, leaving the organization and Board scrambling.
Prepare, “Pivot” and Thrive--Properly managed, a leadership transition provides a pivotal moment, enabling an organization to change direction, maintain momentum, and strengthen its capacity. Whether you are a board member, an executive director, a foundation executive or other supporter of nonprofits, this site will help you understand how executive transitions can build the capacity of your nonprofit, your grantees or your members and clients.
How this Site can Help--This site was built by TransitionGuides, a collaborative association of consultants, management support organizations and others who specialize in serving nonprofit organizations, their executives and their board leaders during leadership transitions.
Here you will find the collected wisdom of decades of work researching and managing executive transitions. We invite you to explore by clicking on the links above. If you have a question, feel free to call us at (301) 439-6635 or use our on-line "Ask a Question" form.
