Many nonprofits are blessed to have a founder or long-term Executive Director who has poured their heart and soul into the organization, and stayed put long enough to watch those efforts bear fruit. Yet nonprofits led by founders or long-term executives can face unique challenges to organizational health. This workshop will address issues especially related to organizations led by their founder or a long-time executive, including the board-Executive Director dynamic, staff empowerment, long-term planning, and managing the inevitable leadership transition. Organizational founders and long-time executives—and the board members and external consultants who work with them—will receive practical tips for avoiding “founder’s syndrome” and preparing the organization today to thrive tomorrow.
