About this listen
Being a leader might not be all it's cracked up to be. We're being tasked to do more with even less. In our first episode, we discuss the challenges in the nonprofit sector, including recruitment and retention issues, burnout amongst Executive Directors, and the need for radical reform.
Bradley Day and Joelle Badman join your hosts Lydia Phillip and Kristen Faulkner to highlight the importance of equitable recruitment processes and the real-life affects of current funding models on leaders and staff. They emphasize the need for shared leadership, sustainable funding, and human-centred approaches to address these problems. The conversation also touches on the importance of flexibility, joy, and authentic leadership.
Notable metrics include 23 interviews with executive directors revealing that wages and compensation are major concerns, with many feeling morally conflicted about their roles due to funding constraints.
