Leadership succession is inevitable in nonprofit (actually, all) organizations. It can be unexpected and chaotic, or the opposite—sclerotic and overdue. At either end of the scale, it’s a crisis.
When we do a search at Armstrong McGuire as part of our Executive Transition Management offering, we work collaboratively with clients putting together a detailed position announcement that outlines the opportunity, as well as the primary responsibilities and related candidate qualifications. I’ve been reviewing a lot of resumes and applications as part of these searches and lately I have been struck by a few things.
I’ve spent 30 years working in various industries, both large and small organizations, in leadership and consulting, in I/T, program, and financial management.
As the kids go back to school and college, we know it’s a sign that fall is approaching with welcome cooler temperatures. Labor Day weekend is next weekend and I don’t know where the summer went.

Whether you’re ready to expand your organizational capacity and move forward with purpose, or just want to talk shop, we’d love to connect.
