Putnam Consulting Group, Inc.’s Post

Philanthropy lacks common sense. I spoke with a previous client at a conference a couple of years ago, and I remember them telling me they were struggling to find key staff people, mainly finance 💲 and technology 💻 staff. They were not able to find many candidates because they refused to allow remote employment. They were chasing the dream of creating buzz and excitement around the office again, but, let me be honest, this foundation does not have a lot of buzz and excitement. They had people in offices doing amazing work, but it’s not buzz and excitement. Would you rather have finance and technology staff doing really good work from home, or an office with buzz and excitement that doesn’t really exist? Philanthropists, family offices, family foundations, community foundations, corporate giving programs, and nonprofit organizations: What tightly held beliefs can you let go of to innovate, improve, and leverage change for greater social impact? #ChangeTheWorld #CommunityFoundations #DelusionalAltruism
