You're a non-profit manager. How can you make better decisions using emotional intelligence?
Empathy is crucial. Whether for your team, your beneficiaries, your funding partners or your stakeholder partners, it is important to put yourself in the other person's shoes and relate to their challenges and perspective. Once people feel heard and cared for, they will genuinely feel so much more committed to the work and realise how much leadership trusts them.

What do you do if your nonprofit leadership strategies are outdated?
Leverage your funders as brainstorming partners. They have visibility across a number of organisations they support and can offer new perspectives and independent feedback on your work. Speak with and listen to your beneficiaries. E.g. track student learning but also speak with their parents to gain feedback about the work. Use the Monitoring and Evaluation team and integrate them into programme design and measurement. Use Monitoring and Evaluation to stay on top of programme performance and course correct when the data tells you that something isn't working.

What do you do if your nonprofit leadership strategies are outdated?
A number of initiatives that can be undertaken to engage the team: - Regular townhalls, preferably monthly - Smaller cohort meetings for leadership and mid-management - A structured L&D calendar - Office hours with HR - Project spotlights where project teams can share more detail about their work to the broader organisation - A clear rewards and recognition programme - can be non-monetary - Articulating career development and growth very clearly - employee profiles and team call-outs on social media channels

What do you do if your nonprofit leadership strategies are outdated?
There are a number of leadership development programmes now available for leaders and middle-managers. Do tap into your networks and also probe organisations like Acumen Fund, Bridgespan, etc. that can point you to their specialised courses and support. Most of them require an application so be prepared to give that a good shot. Would also suggest creating a group of advisors and mentors that you can use to brainstorm, work through challenges, and share ideas. Different perspectives help you come up with better answers.
