Whether we’re planning a road trip or a change of course in our organization’s strategy, the clearer the roadmap, the better the outcome. Moving from complexity to simplicity is an important factor in moving a big idea forward. When we know what needs to be done, by when, and with whom, that daunting trip from here to there starts to feel more manageable. You can start to feel in control of the plan, rather than the plan controlling you.

How can leaders of #SocialImpact organizations build equitable pipelines of leadership to sustain their missions? In this rebroadcast episode, Carrie Fox is joined by Christina Legg Greenberg, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of diversity-focused talent management firm Edgility Consulting to solve this question. How can social impact organizations close skills gaps in order to nurture well-rounded leaders? Where are potential successors today, and what experiences do they need to get them ready? How can succession planning apply to all levels? True #SuccessionPlanning requires looking beyond ego to the future health of the institution and its social mission. As Greenberg says, “What I would just tell people about this process is it’s hard and daunting and scary, but just take it in bite-sized pieces."

If you have a big event, meeting, pitch, or conversation coming up, don’t discount the importance of #preparation. Your audience doesn’t care how many competing #priorities you have or how full your schedule is the day before the event. They care about how you show up in that moment with them. So, prepare accordingly if you want to increase your chances of #success. Read Carrie Fox's latest #FindingTheWords for a few tips to help navigate your next big opportunity: https://lnkd.in/eSxJsN2S #Communications #CourageousLeadership #SocialImpact

"Failing to prepare is preparing to fail." If you have a big event, meeting, pitch, or conversation coming up, don’t take your preparation for granted. Your audience doesn’t care how many competing priorities you have or how full your schedule is the day before the event. They care about how you show up in that moment with them. So, prepare accordingly if you want to increase your chances of success. More in this week's Finding the Words...

#ICYMI: Community is not a place. It's a practice. It is a practice of authenticity, vulnerability, mutual support, and accountability in creating meaningful #connections between each and every one of us. Listen in to learn more: https://lnkd.in/eY2TSYnX
Community is not a place. It's a practice. It is a practice of authenticity, vulnerability, mutual support, and accountability in creating meaningful #connections between each and every one of us. We kick off our summer rebroadcast series by sharing this past episode, where Rev. Ronnie Galvin joined Carrie Fox (she/her) on the #MissionForward podcast to share his journey through social change and community building. He's an incredible advocate and change agent, and, in spite of the challenges and strife he sees around us today, he's also an optimist: "I fundamentally believe that our capacity to solve the biggest problems in front of us is directly related to the experience and the practice of community that we engage in with each other in a world where it feels like everything is falling apart."

As if the scorching summer temperatures weren't enough, American politics have also heated up to a rolling boil this summer, with this past weekend's assassination attempt on one of our presidential candidates being considered by many a critical tipping point. Parties and politics aside, leaders at every level are being called to comment, weigh in, and do something. So, what are you to do? What role do these weekend’s events have on you, your organization, and your community? If you think none, I suggest you think again. Read on to learn where to start in Carrie Fox's latest #FindingTheWords: https://lnkd.in/ew_7Qcv4 #Communications #SocialImpact #CourageousLeadership

When #leaders at the top of a team step aside—for a day, a brief sabbatical, or through a leadership transition—they can do what no one else in their organization can: They create opportunities for people around them to thrive. They can create pathways for future leaders. And they can contribute to the long term wellbeing and #sustainability of the organization. And sometimes, the art of letting go can model leadership at its best. Knowing when to step aside can be difficult, but it can be made easier by asking one key question: Am I prepared to let go?
