Small to mid-sized nonprofit leadership development initiatives : organizational lessons learned - Bingley, UK : Emerald, 2010

Purpose – Presents findings of a recent survey conducted on small to mid-sized nonprofit organizations about the types of leadership development initiatives they offer employees. Design/methodology/approach – Survey and interview methods used to collect data from nonprofit executive directors who participated in this study. Findings – Most survey participants do not have the financial and other organizational capacities to offer leadership development initiatives to employees. In-service workshops are the most frequent type of initiative and unfortunately often this learning initiative has a low impact given its limited short-term exposure to participants. Other leadership development initiatives may be more beneficial to employees in terms of their long-term impact.Practical implications – Provides recommendations for small to mid-sized nonprofit executive directors about ways to fund leadership development initiatives. Originality/value – Offers nonprofit executive directors with suggestions about not investing in leadership development initiatives
