Novas Formas de Liderar Organizações sem Fins Lucrativos

Catalyzed by the pandemic, new leadership models are bringing innovation to the nonprofit sector. In the Dorothy A. Johnson Center for Philanthropy’s 2023 Philanthropy Trends Report, Mandy Sharp Eizinger and Tory Martin draw on the experiences of foundation representatives to describe the type of leadership that makes NGOs/CSOs more mission-driven and enduring.

The authors specifically found that:

• Sharing executive director (or equivalent) roles among multiple people (co-leadership, multi-executive boards) eases emotional strain and workload on leaders, better engages team skills, and reduces the likelihood of burnout.

• Diversifying talent helps sustain leaders in a role that is often lonely and under-resourced. Creating more leadership positions opens up hiring opportunities and advances DEI goals.

• Forming worker cooperatives that provide equal voting rights and direct staff participation in governance is empowering. By organizing into semi-autonomous circles of staff and volunteers, for example, employees can balance project leadership with collective accountability.

• Fiscal sponsorship of NGOs/CSOs and/or their programs under the structure of an existing organization reduces administrative burden, freeing up time and resources.

• Succession planning with gradual leadership transitions to an internal successor leads to more successful organizational handovers.

Ultimately, each of these new models fosters a more mindful and proactive workplace regarding mental health and overall well-being within organizations. The Impactodo platform is designed to reinforce these benefits and help move leaders from survival mode to creating a lasting legacy.
