Thanks for your comment, Gretchen. The Deloitte TalentEdge report shows the private sector is well aware of the succession planning and staff development challenges facing many organizations. Aw we Baby Boomers head into retirement age (regardless of what that turns out to mean in each case) the need to develop tomorrow’s leadership has never been more acute.

Paul-
OnePlace has established a great model for succession planning and leadership development. You’re absolutely right that it is not just a concern for the Kalamazoo region. It is also not exclusive to the nonprofit community. Deloitte recently released its TalentEdge 2012 report, which summarized findings from a survey of 276 senior executives worldwide ― two-thirds of which held board, CEO, CFO, CHRO or HR/talent director positions. Succession planning was a common theme: 30% said developing leaders and succession planning would be a top priority and 29% said it would remain so for the next three years.

Thanks, Lee. It’s one of my favorites too. Those early ah-ha lessons do seem to stick with us, don’t they? PMCK

Comment on What’s Different About NPOs? by Edie

Hmmmmmmm –

I vividly remember the day 22 years ago when my first private sector boss gave me a “Just Because” bonus. It was about a month after I had started to work for him. I had been used to doing an NPO type “monthly report” of activities / objectives done, etc., and so I decided to do one for the new gig. I had learned over time that it was as important for me to do this as a wrap up of the month as to give to my manager, but I thought I would print him out a copy as well. I had said to myself “Hey, lots done! Whew!!” Little did I know that Ben Franklin’s smiling up at me from the unexpected bill I got would be so cool. Welcome to my then new world.
