According to research conducted by the Bridgespan Group, Meyer Foundation and Annie E. Casey Foundation, there will be a significant deficit of executive leadership available to the nonprofit sector in the next decade. At least three out of four Executive Directors plan to leave their jobs within the next five years according to their surveys, and about half of current younger leaders plan to leave the nonprofit sector altogether
By 2016 the nonprofit sector will need 80,000 new senior managers each year, 40 percent more each year than is currently required. There are emerging MBA and other management training programs but few that follow the proven leadership models that are standard in the for-profit sector. Cost is a barrier along with the perception that the nonprofit sector follows a different set of operating standards.
The NonProfit Resource Group offers a variety of leadership training seminars and webinars designed to train leaders not just managers. Any manager will tell you that the hardest part of their job is working with their people. Our trainings are designed to be offer tangible skills that nonprofits emerging leaders can begin using TODAY to affect change today!
