The ousting of the top executive from a small United Way in Wicomico County, Maryland might not seem newsworthy, but for anyone who has made an investment in a nonprofit organization, be it as staff or volunteer, this story will likely generates a mixture of strong emotions. In covering this messy issue, I hope to share important information about why these types of breakdowns occur, and what steps can be taken to prevent them.

6 年Thanks Roy. I'll have an article this week about compensation. Interesting data from Maine.

6 年Well done Keenan. Thanks for the excellent article. Your statement: “If mass staff departures are the first clue that something is seriously amiss with the workplace culture, that is a collective failure of leadership—CEO and board together” is especially on target. Bringing in an outside investigation without an agreed upon and open strategy for how to process and manage findings is also evident. These are always tragic events, but it’s nice to use them as learning opportunities for the nonprofit community. Great work!
