IT'S TRUE ... Santa Exhausted ... Santa's Transition ... the Case Study Here we are at the North Pole considering Santa's transition and exit plan. You are a VALUED member of this team. There's a lot to consider with family members, the elves, reindeer, the legendary board of directors, not to mention the children of the world and the ICON which is Santa Claus. In this case study, we're going through the organizational chart, the business structure, Private Equity Investors like Burgermeister Meisterburger along with Marley, Ebenezer's former partner, management buyout from Ona Move and Lotte Green and family transition. There's new and emerging stiff competition from the Grinch and and his team headed up by Cindy Loo Hoo and Horton. Delivery, deployment, IP, social media all come into play in this discussion as well as the four key capitals: 1) Talent 2) Customer 3) Structural 4) Social Here’s why we all need to talk about this SHifT. Strategic, consistent conversations with experts will assist professionals and entrepreneurs alike to improve their business practices through interactive conversations inclusive of communication, leadership, culture, consulting, wellness, compensation, community, growth, and connection which creates actionable ideas for sustainable growth. https://ow.ly/YkVs50UiaEn Sometimes getting to “DONE” is as simple as coffee & conversation. How about we have a chat… #groupbenefits #employeebenefits #consulting #leadership #communication #culture #compensation #wellness #employeeengagement #cgib Humans serving Humans

October’s thought question: How has the nonprofit field changed during your career? We started the month at Little Flower with our annual celebration of milestone anniversaries for our staff team.  Our longest-serving staff member, Sandy Davis, just celebrated her 45th anniversary at Little Flower!  She has seen our wonderful organization through so many seasons and changes, and we are lucky to be her colleagues. This month also marked my 26th anniversary working in the nonprofit field.  In my years in this field, I have seen evolution too – it is more data-driven, more corporate, more regulated, with a more complex external environment.    But a lot hasn’t changed, especially that the best and brightest mission-driven thinkers are drawn to the field, often sacrificing pay and opportunities they could have gotten in other professions. There have also been many consistent themes over the decades, especially the importance of governance, strategy, risk management, leadership transition, and crisis response big and small – which are each interesting and multi-layered. I plan to share my thoughts on each of these areas and more with a monthly post – I'd welcome your feedback and shared experience!
