103: Effective Nonprofit Leadership in a Virtual World (Heather Burright)
SUMMARY
While nonprofit leaders are welcoming a gradual return to in-person meetings and events, the virtual access required during the pandemic will remain an operational reality going forward. For many leaders, the prospect of more online meetings and trainings is frustrating, but how can you make the best of this reality and in fact leverage the technology to improve the effectiveness of your virtual platforms to increase the engagement of staff, board and volunteers? That’s exactly what I discuss with Heather Burright in episode #103 the Path, as she brings her expertise in instructional design to help nonprofit leaders contemplate improvements to their staff and board meetings, reconsider how they do trainings for staff and volunteers, and how they can more effectively onboard new employees in a remote setting.
