Congratulations to Anna Verdiyan on being named Chief Executive Officer of StreetWise Partners. As she put it: “What often separates potential from success is not ability, but access.” StreetWise Partners has spent more than two decades acting on that same idea, pairing job seekers with mentors and the professional networks needed to build lasting careers. We’re excited to see what they build together. Read more from StreetWise Partners on Anna’s appointment: https://lnkd.in/eWZkJqXM

A word to the wise: “Fix the wobbly toilet before the ceiling caves in.” Issues tend to get more challenging to address the longer you wait to do so. This piece from NPQ explores that reality for mission-driven organizations, explaining why early, direct feedback matters and how the cost of avoiding it tends to be unevenly distributed across staff.

Nonprofit leaders are being asked to hold their teams together through sustained uncertainty with no clear end in sight. This HBR piece makes it clear that hope, a driving force behind continued action, is goal-oriented and only works when aspiration is matched by credibility. The most effective leaders stay honest about the present and clear about the path forward.

When a nonprofit faces a leadership transition, the stakes are high and the path forward isn’t always clear. Third Sector Company’s report on interim leadership draws on conversations with over 100 practitioners to document what effective transition leadership actually looks like and what organizations need to get it right: https://lnkd.in/eWD6vZdQ #Nonprofits #Leadership #SocialSector #Interim

Congratulations to Mireille Mather on joining Partners In Health as Chief Advancement Officer! PIH has spent decades proving that quality healthcare is a right, not a privilege, delivering care in some of the world’s most under-resourced communities. Mireille’s work will help fuel that mission and we’re honored to have supported this search.

Building an effective development team is no small feat, but being honest about your culture, intentional about eliminating bias, and responsive to what candidates actually need makes all the difference. On-Ramps Partner Nakia James-Jenkins, SPHR, SHRM-SCP wrote about it on our blog. Take a look:  https://lnkd.in/g4ndxKMU
