Establishing trust helps. -The younger generation only knows and recognizes the new type of leadership -The trends we discussed are encouraging in terms of leadership succession -Take to extreme, the new approach may cause paralysis—some blend with old approach still needed -Important to pass experience, history on -Both sides (generations/types of leaders) must adjust -People may hold differing perspectives regarding how far your organization has shifted -Use mistakes to learn and try again -Transparency and visibility is a nonprofit challenge Here are comments generated by participants in our 21st Century Leadership workshop.
