In this episode of Nonprofit Nerd®: Impact Unleashed, Jarrett Ransom is joined by Mitchell Jeffery, founder of Ember Collective, to explore “the forgotten middle”. The dependable team members who consistently deliver but rarely demand attention. Together, they challenge common assumptions about performance, burnout, and support, urging nonprofit leaders to look beyond crisis management and high-performer praise. This practical conversation offers thoughtful insights on how recognizing and investing in steady contributors can strengthen teams, retention, and long-term impact.
