Lead for Success
The nonprofit CEO called me and asked to meet. With great excitement he shared an increased vision for his organization — one that would impact so many more lives. It had me excited.
We met a few more times, and he shared his passion for taking a big step. A month later, I sat in on a board meeting in which the project was discussed. Where was the leader I had met, I asked myself? Where was his passion? Why did he not share this before the board meeting through individual visits with the board members?
