1 Define your vision and values

One of the most important aspects of leadership is having a clear vision and values that guide your decisions and actions. As a nonprofit executive, you need to articulate your vision and values to your staff, board, donors, partners, and beneficiaries. This will help you align your goals, motivate your team, and attract support for your cause. To define your vision and values, you can use tools such as a mission statement, a vision board, or a values matrix. You can also share stories and examples that illustrate your vision and values in action.

As a non-profit executive, it's important to stay focused on the needs of (1) the board as well as (2) the needs of the staff. Although both must understand the mission and vision, their tasks and responsibilities are uniquely different. Each must focus on their responsibility for achieving the mission and vision so that donors and partners will see success and progress and be attracted to support the cause. A non-profit professional directs, coaches, and encourages excellence while pitching in to achieve success and gives credit to others at every opportunity.

It’s very important for employees to understand the organization’s Vision, Mission and Values, to create a culture of safety and motivation. From personal experience, I have learned that when employees understand the purpose and value of their work, they feel more confident to perform a better. They feel more supported and motivated-increasing quality of care and patient satisfaction.

2 Engage with your stakeholders

Another key aspect of leadership is engaging with your stakeholders, both internally and externally. As a nonprofit executive, you need to build trust, rapport, and feedback loops with your staff, board, donors, partners, and beneficiaries. This will help you understand their needs, expectations, and perspectives, as well as foster a culture of collaboration and accountability. To engage with your stakeholders, you can use strategies such as surveys, interviews, focus groups, town halls, newsletters, or social media. You can also showcase your achievements and challenges, and acknowledge your successes and failures.

Leaders who have no formal authority and yet able to influence people; having people who are willing to follow them are leaders whom I respect a lot. These leaders earned the respect and credibility through their behaviours, the way they communicate and interact with people, how they value people, lift them up and add value to them. My recommendation is be sincere, transparent, consistent, trustworthy and competent.

Trust is gained through our actions. A good leader is to lead by example to reflect good qualities. It is through our actions that we influence those around us to adapt positive behaviors. Servant leadership is a great example of this.
