Executive Director Blog Series No. 3: Academy Center of the Arts
“Sustainable leadership isn’t about having full control of your organization. There is strength and utility in strategically letting go.”
In my first post, I mentioned that my sabbatical was not a vacation. An effective sabbatical at its core has goals that are primarily focused on the institution and not the individual. It is not that the executive’s well-being isn’t a consideration, but their well-being ties back to the organization’s health. So, I am not deciding on the goals of my sabbatical. Instead, the organization is.

A sabbatical is built around trust, and trust starts with granting your chief executive a multi-year contract.
The first question I am going to ask our readers: if you are a nonprofit executive, do you have a multi-year employment contract? Not just an employment agreement, but a multi-year contract?
The next question I will ask is this: if you are a board member of a nonprofit, why are you not providing your executive with a multi-year contract? If you are an executive, why aren’t you asking for one?
