#SaturdaySummaries This week we read “The Life You Can Save" by Peter Singer. Did you know? Over 736 million people live in extreme poverty, struggling to survive on less than $1.90 a day. In "The Life You Can Save," Peter Singer challenges us to confront the moral imperative of addressing global poverty and inequality. Here are the 5 key takeaways from the book: 1. Embrace Diversity 🌟 : True leadership goes beyond numbers; it's about valuing unique perspectives and strengths that come from varied life experiences. Embracing diversity enriches our organizations and communities, driving innovation and resilience. 2. Redefine Leadership 🔄 : It's time to move beyond traditional models of leadership that focus solely on privilege and hierarchy. Effective leadership requires inclusivity, empathy, and a deep understanding of diverse realities. 3. Inclusivity Drives Success 🤝 : Inclusive practices are not just morally right; they are also strategically smart. By fostering an inclusive culture, we tap into the full potential of our teams, driving creativity, innovation, and organizational effectiveness. 4. Self-Reflection Matters 🧠 : Leadership begins with self-awareness. It's essential to recognize and challenge our own biases to create a more conscious and considerate workplace. 5. Patience is Key 🕰️ : Building an inclusive culture takes time, patience, and consistent effort. By investing in long-term strategies and fostering trust and understanding, we can create lasting change and build a better future for all. Peter Singer advices to begin by donating small amounts and gradually increase your contributions. Adjusting your lifestyle to prioritize giving can pose challenges, even after understanding your moral obligation to help.

Change. Is there a CEO change on the horizon? Is there a new strategic plan in the works? Is it time for a new board chair? Are you in a new leadership role or embarking on a new fund development initiative or campaign? Understanding and managing complex change, including predicting and managing emotional reactions, is a skill whose value can hardly be overestimated in the world of health care philanthropy. Being able to understand and manage complex change is not always easy or straightforward; however, the good news is this skill can be developed.

The provision of health care is a sacred trust. People put their bodies and their hopes in the hands of their health care organizations and caregivers for healing and comfort. Health care board members have the awesome role to safeguard and strengthen this noble work. Through philanthropy, board members have the opportunity to promote the organization’s vision and to invite others to join. This purpose-filled activity allows the health care organization to create a stronger bond with its community while letting donors be part of something that fulfills the good they have in mind. Your organization has a clear purpose expressed in its mission. This collective purpose involves stakeholders from frontline workers to volunteers to executives. Philanthropy leaders must connect this collective organizational purpose to individual purpose that includes board members’ own values, their own visions of themselves at their best and their own routes to self- actualization. Organizations have to go beyond just fortifying board members in the fact that the organization’s collaborative purpose is virtuous and good; but instead, also meet with each board member to uncover individual purpose, passion and goals.
