Addressing the Leadership Vacuum: Supporting Emerging Leaders

There is a great need for talented individuals to step into leadership positions. The nonprofit sector is experiencing leadership turnover for multiple reasons, such as COVID-19, “the great resignation,” and a generational shift where long-time leaders are retiring. Therefore, it’s vital to encourage leadership from team members at all levels of an organization. This effort can have the additional benefits of promoting inclusion, engagement, and retention overall.  However, too few current leaders and organizations make a systematic effort to support staff leadership development.

This workshop will offer insights and practical ideas that will be valuable for professionals interested in emerging as leaders, as well as current leadership who want to encourage the development of their team members.
