Closing the Leadership Development Deficit - with Libbie Landles-Cobb, The Bridgespan Group

In this episode, we go deep into nonprofit talent nerdom with Libbie Landles-Cobb, a Partner at The Bridgespan Group and Fund the People Advisory Council member. We discuss Libbie’s research, which helps us to shift the narrative in the field from a “leadership deficit” to a “leadership development deficit”. And we hear about the programs and consulting she offers, which are providing funders and nonprofits with practical ways to address the leadership development deficit. Libbie also shares her personal childhood motivation for engaging in social change work, and discusses her own and her institution’s evolution regarding the relationship between business practices and the nonprofit sector. So let your talent nerd flag fly, and listen to this great episode!
