You know the feeling—you're working nonstop, checking off every task, yet still completely underwater. In this episode, I share why many nonprofit leaders aren't experiencing organizational messiness and chaos because of disorganization or poor time management. It's because they're solving the wrong problem - like mopping up a kitchen floor while the pipe under the sink is still leaking.
I break down four types of organizational chaos I see all the time—tactical, strategic, structural, and leadership—and how each one points to a deeper design deficit. If you're feeling stuck, this episode will help you diagnose what’s really going on and what to do instead.
