What Helps Leaders Grow?

“Executive Directors are as unique as the nonprofits they lead. The leadership needs of their organizations vary over time – as different points in the life of a nonprofit call for different competencies. The most effective leaders continually assess organizational needs and strengths, and enhance their skills to match the realities and opportunities they are facing. Advancing the leader’s capabilities requires individualized support delivered in a manner relevant to this organizational context.” … the James Irvine Foundation

As is often the case, research and pilot projects funded by U.S. based foundations are highly supportive of building the capacity of organizations by cultivating the skills and strengths of their individual leaders. We offer the following link to a recent report that may help nonprofit leaders here in Alberta make their case for support as they seek funding for their own professional development.

Executive Leadership Coaching - Leadership, Energy, Action and Performance (LEAP)

This advanced learning strategy is an efficient and effective way for top executives and emerging leaders to grow to their next level of professional and organizational success. The LEAP program provides leaders with a pre-screened and certified executive coach to guide and support the journey to the leader’s extraordinary future. Management skills are important to daily success. However, it is authentic and skillful leadership that delivers sustainable excellence in non-profit organizations.

Executive Search & Transition (Prepare, Pivot and Thrive)

ES&T is more than an executive search. The success or failure of this initiative could be the legacy your Board leaves behind. We help your Board deal with a myriad of changes and emotions that begin with the announcement of an Executive Director’s departure…planned or unplanned. Navigating the turbulence involved in stabilizing, planning, recruitment, hiring and post-hire transition processes is our fort é. Leadership change can be a pivotal point in the evolution of your organization. Will you capture the op­portunities and avoid the pitfalls that a change in leadership offers?

Talent Management (The Succession Plan)

Is there a concisely documented plan to manage operational leadership succession in your organization? Who is responsible for the plan and its execution? Succession planning is more than naming successors to mission critical roles. CentrePoint can help you refine your Talent Management System while building your succession plan.
