Leader Circles are collaborative learning networks where nonprofit executives meet to address common challenges, exchange ideas and share solutions. A best practice for group formation includes selection of nonprofit executives from organizations that are diverse in mission but have similar-sized budgets.
These groups meet monthly for a period of seven months in facilitated peer-coaching groups of five to seven people.
Executive Directors will benefit by:
- Network with colleagues who face similar challenges and opportunities,
- Receive feedback, encouragement and validation for ideas before releasing them publicly,
- Achieve personal goals,
- Envision new possibilities and
- Renew energy levels.
Organizations will benefit by:
- Developing shared solutions with other nonprofits for organizational challenges,
- Utilizing the best practices of other organizations,
- Seeing increased effectiveness in their executive director,
- Seeing an increased performance and impact of their organization and
- Forming stronger relationships with other nonprofits in their community.
