311. AMA: How Can Small Shop Nonprofits Build an Amazing Culture?- Jonathan McCoy, CFRE and Becky Endicott, CFRE
You asked, we responded! This Friday we're launching a quick two-part #AMA Friday series focused on helping small shops beginning with How Cultures Can be Changed & How Leaders Can Help. Our small shop queen Rachel Bearbower left a message on our voicemail asking some tough questions that we know are on your mind too - you want to see your organization modernize and evolve, but leadership may not agree. We'll break down the myths, the fallout of not listening to staff, and the incredible opportunity sitting before brave small (and big!) shop leaders. Even if you're not a small shop, there's plenty to be learned from these topics. Come hang with us!
