  • Popularity is not Leadership Devin Hughes         posted in: Leadership
    It is actually over-rated. Many people confuse it with leadership. They are not the same. Popularity is about being liked whereas leadership is about being respected. Mr. Popular focuses on his/her needs whereas the leader is consumed with meeting group goals and objectives. It is a complete waste of time trying to be Mr. Popular if you have a desire to be a change agent. I should know since I w...
  • Learn From It, Then It Go Rick Robare         posted in: Management and Supervision
    Here’s a short parable that can easily be applied to our professional lives… A wise man spoke to an audience, telling them a joke. Everyone laughed like crazy. After another moment, he told the same joke again. This time less people laughed. He cracked the same joke again & again. When there was no laughter in t...

  • The Time for Leadership is NOW! Filomena Warihay, Ph.D.         posted in: Leadership
    It may be the best of times or the worst of times – but it is the only time we have. The poor economy, cut-backs on spending, staff reductions and other types of belt-tightening certainly don’t herald the best of times. Nevertheless, as a leader, you can...

  • Do You Walk the Talk? Al Spinks         posted in: Leadership
    Whether you know it or not you are judged by what you do much more so than by what you say.  Effective leaders have identified a certain set of values and then live their life in accordance with those values. That is, "They Walk Their Talk". This one step in and of itself allows leaders to live an authentic rather than a hypocritical life. Max De Pree in his book entitled...
  • Solicitor Training – It’s Not Just for Nonprofit Volunteers Darcy Lee         posted in: Motivational
    Why should your nonprofit organization consider solicitor training for your staff and your volunteers? The answer is simple - because too often we take for granted that the "people in the field" are prepared for anything that comes their way.    Your next question may be, "I'm the manager of my staff and volunteers.  Why do you t...
