In this episode, we explore the challenges that nonprofits face when navigating crises, leadership struggles, and financial instability. Drawing from the article, Leadership, Service, and Wicked Problems: Impact of War, Lack of Funding, and COVID-19 in Service of Those with Fewer Opportunities (https://doi.org/10.57229/2834-2267.1024), I examine how external disruptions like war and global pandemics push organizations to the brink.

How do leaders adapt under pressure? What happens when mission-driven work collides with chaos? And what strategies can help nonprofits survive and sustain impact amid uncertainty?

Join me for an insightful discussion on crisis leadership, resilience, and the real-world struggles of organizations fighting to make a difference.
