35. What Exactly is a Mission Driven Organization Anyways? 5:23

2M ago5:23

5:23

I use the term "mission driven organization" a lot. And when asked, I'm always happy to define what I mean by that. But... I've learned through the years that my definition is not the one that matters.Rey Spadoni

33. When Proactive is Really Reactive 5:38

2M ago5:38

5:38

All leaders want to be proactive, not reactive. But here's the thing: Just because you want to be proactive, be considered by others to be proactive, and do proactive seeming things, that does not mean that it’s true. In this week's episode, I point out a simple way to frame up a discussion that can help leaders make sure that everyone is on the sa…

32. When Optimism Becomes Denial 4:09

3M ago4:09

Optimism is a good thing, right? Absolutely! But... and this starts innocently enough... a sincere desire to be (and seem) optimistic can, over time, give way to something that is... not so good.Rey Spadoni

3M ago4:27

4:27

I've seen it happen and often to tragic effect.

This week's brief episode is a reflection on how best to prevent this sort of unpleasant surprise from happening. Thanks for…

29. The importance of external feedback 4:14

3M ago4:14

4:14

Some of us kittens look into a mirror and see a mighty lion staring back at us. Some of us lions see little kittens. Honest and clear-headed self evaluation is important... but alas this is a podcast about leading mission driven organizations and I'm no pop psychologist. Nevertheless, I believe that the parallels to leadership are worth thinking ab…

26. Why mergers and acquisitions FAIL: They were set up to do just that from the very start! 6:48

4M ago6:48

6:48

For many nonprofit organizations, merger and acquisition strategies are viewed as desperation moves, as a proverbial Hail Mary scenario. This is... quite different... from their for profit counterparts who see M&A options as a way of cashing out of the business or as a means to grow and increase shareholder value. In this week's episode, I argue th…

25. Where does DEI "Belong" When Creating Your Strategic Plan? 5:58

4M ago5:58

5:58

You're preparing your strategic plan and hoping to reflect your organization's top tier priority around DEI and anti-racism... so, you make it one of your named top tier priorities or "strategic pillars".

I discuss this topic today and offer three potential remedies.…

5M ago5:43

5:43

19. “You Lied to Me": The Perils of M&A 7:05

6M ago7:05

7:05

I recently saw that a former colleague from a company I once led posted on social media that he had fallen victim to an affiliation that was not accurately described to him as it was taking shape. Since I was the one responsible for messaging that affiliation, I took his comment as a blow. And that stung. But... some further reflection has led me t…

18. Seeing the Invisible 5:04

6M ago5:04

5:04

Vision. Every organization should have one and every leader need to be able to articulate his or hers. But not all "visions" are the same. According to Jonathan Swift, “Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.” So, do you help others see the invisible?Rey Spadoni

17. The Era of the “Context Curious” 5:55

6M ago5:55

5:55

When I was starting out as a young and relatively low-in-the-chain-of-command employee, I was highly focused on the task at hand. I was clear about my responsibilities and how to be successful and I didn’t worry about a great deal more than that. If someone back then had asked me how the company I was working for was doing financially or what its m…

16. When Conflict Avoidance IS the Elephant in the Room 5:09

6M ago5:09

5:09

"Conflict avoided is conflict multiplied." Most people don't relish having to make tough decisions but sometimes putting this off can cause more harm downstream. Organizational culture flows from the personality of the key leaders of the organizations, most notably the CEO's. If that CEO is conflict avoidant... then that may prove to be the biggest…

6M ago5:22

7M ago5:44

5:44

13. Like a Drawer Full of Pens 11:35

7M ago11:35

11:35

For organizations in trouble and working to launch an improvement initiative, the diagnostic phase is critical. Sometimes, however, that is a very difficult task... partially due to the fact that neglect, conflict avoidance, politics, lack of clarity, or indecision created a mess that is difficult to sort through. I liken this to a "drawer full of …

5. Mission is the Way Out 5:06

8M ago5:06

5:06

8M ago5:04

3. There is Always a Waterfall 10:10

8M ago10:10

10:10
