Nonprofit Jenni Show

If you work for a nonprofit which has offices all over the country or world, you may have noticed some tension between the headquarters and its affiliate offices, or even between affiliate offices themselves when "turf wars" arise. This week's episode addresses the natural tension between such offices to compare the positive and negative aspects of working for a far-reaching charity organization. You'll hear all the perspectives: What it's like to work for headquarters, for an affiliate, in a relatively small city, and overseas where cultural norms are completely different. Our guests also provide advice on how you can work within the system to improve relations among your staff and between offices.

Our guests this episode are both anonymous to allow for complete honesty in their interviews!
