The Essential Guide for Managing Leadership Turnovers A leadership
transition can be a time of high vulnerability for a nonprofit
organization. On the other hand, an executive turnover offers
unique opportunities for renewal and fresh thinking. Managing
Executive Transitions shows how this state of transition can give
board and staff members a chance to put things back together in new
and creative ways—to discard some old pieces and to bring in fresh
elements. Nonprofit boards and executive directors will find
practical advice on how to manage leadership turnovers in ways that
can heighten mission impact while avoiding potential downsides.
Author Tim Wolfred recommends a transformational process of three
phases: Prepare, Pivot, and Thrive. In the Prepare phase board
members, staff, volunteers, and funders engage in an efficient
process for updating the agency's strategic directions and crafting
a profile of the skills needed in the next executive. In the Pivot
phase a search ensues, conducted by a board reinvigorated and
excited about the agency's future impact. In the Thrive phase the
board engages the newly hired executive as a leadership partner and
gives him or her clear performance priorities derived from the
strategic directions. Engaging case studies and hands-on tools such
as planning agendas, timelines, sample letters, and communication
tips will smooth the transition to new executive leadership.
