Through extensive experience, I have engaged with the book "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team" by Patrick Lencioni. This text has substantially enhanced my understanding of the fundamental causes of team conflicts and the methods to address them effectively. By fostering open communication, cultivating trust, and promoting collaboration, organizations can restore both harmony and productivity within their teams, particularly in the nonprofit sector. Furthermore, the implementation of regular team-building activities and conflict-resolution training can lead to considerable improvements in team dynamics. #TeamBuilding #ConflictResolution #NonprofitLeadership #ProductivityBoost

I've been involved in non-profit for over 40 years. Motivations is important & recruitment should not just be an open door policy. People ask for a recommendation within 30 seconds after meeting them. Many lack training, be overwhelmed or unfortunately looking for the prestige not understanding the responsibility or role modelling that they need to do. Everyone is watching; do as I say no longer cuts it. Support by the troops can be just as important as who is choosing the path. Everyone wants to be liked but many are not prepared for the requirements of leadership. Share vision, commitment and understand why your staff/ volunteers are there. Chose tasks accordingly, praise often and give feedback. Follow Weaton's law and be fair.
