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. ⬇️
Strategy | Leadership | Change Agent | Fund & Business Development | Social Impact | Training & Development
Trust in #nonprofits rebounds! The current level of trust in nonprofits is 57%. This is based on the findings of a survey conducted by Independent Sector. The survey, which is the largest nationally representative survey of its kind, surveyed over 3,000 individuals. ➡ Trust in nonprofits has rebounded by 5 points after four years of decline. Trust in nonprofits is higher than trust in #philanthropy, which remains steady at 33%. ➡ Trust in nonprofits is also higher than trust in other sectors such as government, business, and media, which have seen a decline in trust. ➡ Americans trust nonprofits to reduce national divisions more than they trust corporations, government, or media.

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.
