What makes a not-for-profit organization great? Its mission, of course, as well as dedicated staff, volunteers, board members and various stakeholders. What may be most important, however, is exceptional leadership. It is leadership that can be the difference between an organization thriving or merely surviving.
What defines an exceptional nonprofit CEO or executive director? Several key attributes come to mind: creative, credible and communicative. He/she must have the ability to inspire the ranks, raise funds and ensure long-term sustainability. An exceptional nonprofit leader understands public policy, public relations, corporate partnerships, operational excellence and, most of all, strategic planning.
