We have always felt that what often stops us from being successful in our nonprofit work are those nagging things that we just don’t seem to be able to solve – the difficult coworker, the boss who just doesn’t give us enough time nor really explain what they are looking for from us. Maybe it’s our first chance at being a supervisor and the team is driving us crazy and we just don’t know how to get on top of it.
Or… the board member who is loading us up with requests, when we already have a full plate, or, if you’re the coworker, boss, or board member maybe you feel that the organization team just doesn’t get it and aren’t capturing the organization’s vision that you feel you were recruited to make happen.
Yup, it’s a lot for any of us to overcome alone. On top of that, now the pressure is on to raise more and more money or push the organization to the next level with new ideas and new partnerships and… wow, it’s a lot.
