S12 E24 Hiring a Not-For-Profit Executive with Gayle Turner & Steve Saltzberg

Hiring a Not-for-Profit Executive Don’t underestimate yourself. Corporate leadership capacity and management experience are transferable. However, middle management experience is not the same as governance.   Do your research to learn the difference between tactical decisions, how something is to be done, and strategic decisions, what is to be done. Management makes tactical decisions. Boards of Directors make strategic decisions regarding what an organization does. Boards of Directors who make tactical decisions undermine their managers. Learn the difference and be brave, embrace the adventure.   Gayle Turner is President of The Storytellers Channel, Inc. https://storytellerschannel.com/ For close to five decades he has used the power of story to initiate and sustain change while growing leaders and building productive corporate and community cultures.
