One of the frustrations I often hear from nonprofit leaders is, yeah, we got a handful of great allies and champions, but we can't seem to grow the bench. We'd love to build even more of those powerfully influential relationships, but we simply haven't got the bandwidth.
I'm already devoting 60% of my time to this, and I still have to run the organization, and there's only so much of me to go around. I hired a policy person or a contracting person, and between the two of us, we're able to get a lot done, but it's not enough and I can't afford to hire more people right now.
There's a solution that’s hiding in plain sight. There is a resource that is very seldom used, and yet when it's used correctly, it can 5 to 10 X your relationship building capacity.
In this episode, we share:
- What’s stopping potential relationship builders on your team from stepping up to take on that work
- The three most important beliefs that develop an organizational culture that centers strategic relationship building
- The four most common hidden obstacles to expanding your strategic relationship building team
- How to up-level your leadership team’s role in growing your strategic relationships
- How to engage and support your mid-level staff in taking on strategic relationship building responsibilities that align with their other work
- The easiest and most efficient way to accelerate any team member’s strategic relationship building skills
If you found value in this episode, please share it with other progressive nonprofit leaders. And I’d be grateful if you would leave a rating and review on Apple podcasts, which will help even more people find out about this podcast.
