In episode 32 of Nonprofit Mission: Impact, some of the topics that Carol and her guest, Don Tebbe discussed include:

• How organizations can best manage transition
• Why it is important for the outgoing director to take care of themselves
• How boards might need to change to accommodate a transition

Guest Information: Don Tebbe is an organizational planning consultant and one of America's most experienced advisors on nonprofit CEO transition and leadership succession. He experienced, first-hand, the challenges of sustaining an organization and navigating leadership succession as a former nonprofit executive director and five-time interim CEO. Since 1993, he's helped hundreds of nonprofit leaders plan for and manage turnover in their chief executive positions. Don was one of the national thought leaders involved in an Annie E. Casey Foundation-sponsored project to develop better practices for nonprofit leadership succession. Many of the concepts and practices used by succession practitioners today originated with the Casey project. He is the author of Chief Executive Transitions: How to Hire & Support a Nonprofit CEO and The Nonprofit CEO Succession Roadmap: Your Guide for the Journey to Life's Next Chapter.
