New! How to Build a High Performance Culture as a Nonprofit Leader

If You Register and Cannot Attend, You Will Get the Webinar Recording, Slides and Bonus Materials.

Many nonprofits have historically operated as “top-down” hierarchies in which power and authority are consolidated at the top. Staff are expected to adhere to the policies and implement the decisions made for them by management. However, the beliefs, attitudes and values that support these organizational structures, are outmoded and no longer effective. 

This CharityHowto Webinar will be a short-shot, fast-paced, and highly relevant 90-minute interactive session where you will learn the step-by-step process required to develop a High-Performance Organization. 

Today’s dynamic nonprofit environment requires that organizations become enlightened and more responsive to the needs of their staff, volunteers and those they serve. 

Management can no longer monopolize control in the traditional sense, and employees cannot be viewed as instruments of management or performance problems will predictably occur. 

Instead, if a nonprofit expects to be successful it will require a commitment to developing a high performing culture that fosters staff dedication and this should be driven by the leadership. They must help create an environment within the organization where each employee is seen as a vital member of the team or it will never fully meet its mission, satisfy staff and clients, or achieve its desired outcomes.   

During This Nonprofit Webinar You Will Learn:

• How to tell the difference between a bureaucratic culture and an enlightened culture
• How to identify the impact of culture on staff motivation, performance, satisfaction and retention
• How to distinguish the key ingredients of an enlightened, high-performance organization 
• How to define leadership’s role in creating and leading a motivated and committed workforce
• How to recognize the four key components needed to build a top-performing team in the context of a high-performance nonprofit.
• How to apply specific strategies to significantly increase staff commitment by leveraging the differences within a multi-generational workforce.
