Recent conversation with a #nonprofit #leader who transitioned from #nonprofit to for profit and back to #nonprofit #humanservices organizations: Leader: I had a hard time reconciling with "no margin no mission" Me: I have a hard time not reconciling with it.

A recent conversation with an executive #leadership coach: Me: What are you seeing across your client base that is creating the most problems? Him: Holding onto the wrong people too long. Me: That'll tweet! #LeadershipDevelopment #LeadershipMatters #GreatResignation

#leadership is not giving your people all that they want. It’s giving them all that they need. #LeadershipMatters #nonprofitleadership

You grow leaders by leading at your level and requiring them to lead at theirs.  #leadership #leaders #leadershipmatters #leadatyourlevel

I was recently asked about what makes a good #leader. Part of the answer: "A good leader must have enough humility to be coachable and enough courage to coach others." #leadershipmatters #nonprofitleaders #nonprofitleadership
#Leadership is not doing the work yourself, but ensuring the work get’s done. #leadershipmatters #nonprofitleaders #nonprofitleadership

Most #nonprofits and their #leaders are maintainers, not builders.  Those we serve require #nonprofitleadership to see the potential of what could be and move and work towards it. Be a builder! #leadershipmatters – at Waxhaw, NC

#leader: we expect a lot out of #leaders here! Me: are our expectations high or are others low? #LeadershipMatters #nonprofitleadership – at Waxhaw, NC

One of the best pieces of advice given to me by a #leader was “what you permit, you promote”. Thank you - Bill Gillis! #culturematters #leadershipmatters #nonprofitleadership #nonprofitleaders #leadership – at Charlotte, NC

I heard this the other day, “I want to get paid more so I can do more.”. NOOOOOOO. You have to do more so that you can be paid more. #impactplayers do! #nonprofit #nonprofitleadership #Leaders – at Waxhaw, NC
Strategy without action is like faith without works. It’s dead. #LeadershipMatters
