Pros
New senior leadership is credible,competent, and allows us to feel as though we are truly making a difference it has not been this way for some time. We operate under the primary assumption that we truly make a difference in the lives of Young People. Now we can truly see this impact!! I have never worked for a more passionate, focused inspiring,comitted group of staff members. they inspire me to Do My Best every day. Todays impact will influence the leaders of tomorrow. You need to see these kids when they attain the rank of Eagle Scout, truly powerful and motivating.
Cons
Its all Consuming, People think that we as executives just Go Hiking and Camping, The for Profit sector does not understand what we do or percieve the value of non profits. This is a major concern, Most non Profit executives work twice as hard as there for profit counterparts. For less Money and less recognition. I find it arrogant and disconcerting that this exists. I think we will find as we move through our next 100 years that the true best CEO's will come from Not for profit leadership. These are individuals that thrive on Challenge, Live every day trying to do more with less, and motivate people to accomplish what they did not think was possible.
