Do you know the No. 1 reason people leave their jobs? *cue Jeopardy theme song music while you think* A bad boss. Yes, research shows that the top reason people quit their jobs is because of a bad manager. But why are there so many poor managers out there?   🚫 The majority of managers receive no managerial training at all. 🚫 With no formal training in place, new managers turn to mimicking previous bosses. 🚫 Today’s managers are being trained while on the job, rather than before the start as a manager.

We’d love to hear your thoughts and takeaways from the latest nonprofit trust data from Independent Sector. Our CEO Charles D. Imbergamo, CFRE, sums up the highlights for you. ⬇️

Working longer, faster and harder is no longer the answer to enhancing productivity or improving overall performance. Addressing overwhelm and chaos in the workplace requires a leadership paradigm shift. Positive psychology practitioner and Nonprofit Leadership Center trainer Kristen Lessig- Schenerlein MAPP, PCC, CPQC, shares an approach that can work to prevent overwhelm at your nonprofit.

It's no secret that nonprofits are experiencing a workforce crisis. In a recent survey by the National Council of Nonprofits, nearly three-quarters of nonprofits reported job vacancies (exceeding pre-COVID levels). So, how can nonprofits compete for top talent? John Falero, director of client partner development at Sulzer Creative Agency, shares effective strategies to recruit and retain nonprofit team members. #Nonprofits #NonprofitLeadership #Hiring
