Nonprofit Executive Coaching

Executive Coaching in Santa BarbaraGovernance of a Nonprofit

Nonprofit executive directors have an increasingly challenging job often resulting in a sense of isolation, an organization’s failure to achieve strategic goals, frustration on the part of the board and executive, and an expensive search for a new executive. A 2006 study (Daring to Lead, Meyer Foundation and Compass Point) of 2,000 nonprofit executive directors shows that 75% will leave their positions within 5 years. Sixty percent will leave for reasons that include a difficult executive/board relationship, lack of a trusted peer network, burnout or a need for more sophisticated leadership skills.
