Helping Nonprofit Boards & CEOs Build Leaderful Organizations

Here's how we can help you build a leaderful team and ensure leadership continuity:

• Reduced risk through Succession Basics - create a backup plan for unplanned absences of the chief executive (and the senior executive leadership if appropriate), and impliment a board-adpoted succession policy to address planned transitions. Minimize the risks of traumatic transitions and disruption to mission work when a planned or unplanned transition occurs.
• Build a leaderful team through Leader Development and Talent Management Planning/Consulting - develop a plan that advances leader development in your organization and links leadership development to strategic goals and the business plan.  The plan also identifies training/developmental opportunities, provides guidance on senior management structure and identifies key hires to round out a team or skill sets. For larger organizations, more advanced planning results in a Talent Management Plan. Broaden and deepen your leadership team, help them grow and step up in new ways; deepen your "bench strength" around mission-critical competencies. Develop a develop a blueprint for growing the leadership team needed for long-term success; make senior management jobs more manageable.
• Ensure continuity through Departure-Defined Succession Planning - assistance for chief executives and boards where the executive plans to leave in one to four years. A combination of coaching and planning focused on preparing the executive for his/her transition, strengthening the board, preparing the organization, and increasing leadership capacity in preparation for the transition. Provides executives with a clear exit and handoff while increasing the Board's and management team's fluency on leadership and leadership needs, and the link to strategic priorities.
