Every executive of any nonprofit at some time wrestles with many, if not, all of these questions:
- How do I manage change and transition in my organization?
- How do I motivate my staff?
- How do I build an effective team?
- How do I spark creativity?
- How do I plan for and manage a crisis?
- How do I achieve diversity of race, ethnicity and social class?
- How do I resolve debilitating conflict ?
Preparing nonprofit executives to find answers to these questions is what NESC’s Leadership Development Institute has been doing since 1993. Since then, NESC has run leadership workshops, seminars and one-on-one training sessions for non-profit ceos and executive staff, high school principals and assistant principals and clergy.
NESC’s program, meanwhile, has been copied in Boston, Detroit, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Schenectady (NY) and Washington, DC.
| Leadership Training is designed to help executives understand – |
- The nature of leadership.
- The difference between leadership and management
- The impact of an individual’s style of leadership and management
- How leadership affects an organization’s objectives and outcomes
- How leaders can gain client and staff involvement
- Effective management/leadership approaches
|
NESC Leadership Training sessions are conducted by NESC Consultants, themselves accomplished executives. They lead discussions, probe and prod participants, draw on the participants’ own experience and force the group to think hard about their values and opinions.
Beyond the essential general discussion of what constitutes effective leadership, NESC Trainers sketch examples of successful leaders and managers; they drill on ensuring effective change and transitions; and they work through exercises on motivation, time management, resolving conflicts, building collaborations and building teams.
