Extraordinary impact occurs when nonprofit leaders:

  • Leverage individual leadership styles and strengths using emotional intelligence.
  • Move intentionally between management and leadership roles.
  • Lead the board and community toward generative work.
  • Practice and encourage authenticity, vulnerability, and risk taking.
  • Cultivate a network and community that is trusting, supportive, and mutually accountable.
  • Prioritize inclusive and equitable approaches and outcomes for diverse communities.
