Leading a team can be stressful, even for the most seasoned managers. Yet many talented individual contributors are promoted to management roles without the proper training, mentoring and support. When that happens, organizations, outcomes and wellbeing are significantly impacted.
- 41% said they were stressed or anxious about coming to work.
- 34% wanted to leave the organization.
- 31% lost confidence in their company overall.
The Nonprofit Leadership Center’s Certificate in Leadership program exists to reverse this troubling trend and fill a significant gap in management transition for nonprofits. This unique, 10-week learning experience brings together nonprofit leaders who are new to managing people or programs in an inclusive, collaborative environment to develop the qualities and skills necessary to lead with authenticity and impact.
