The Role of the Nonprofit CEO: The Grand Coordinator
It may not feel like it, but large parts of the world live in greater abundance than ever before.
There is more work, more services, more wealth. And yes, more people.
Increasingly, the hard part is coordinating all of this!
Donors and other external stakeholders (and their information bubbles). Complicated processes using dozens of external services. Employees who don’t share systems or sometimes even a common language!
In this podcast episode, we review the thesis that the role of the CEO is to “create future value.”
In addition to that, Louis argues that coordination should rise to be a CEO priority.
Here are some ways to do it:
- Improved Communication
- Common Language
- Technology Integration
- Real-Time Information Sharing
- Marketing and Feedback Channels
- Professional Coordinators
- Digital Platforms
- Standardized Behavior and Roles
