But today I wanted to directly answer a few of the many, many questions I get on a daily basis from leaders at smaller nonprofits who simply don&#8217;t have the same kind of resources available to them as their counterparts at larger nonprofits.<\/p>\n<p>While my consulting practice tends to focus on medium and large nonprofits,\u00a0I am determined to find\u00a0ways to help reduce the challenges that the leaders of &#8220;small but mighty&#8221; nonprofits face. I have some big ideas on this topic that I&#8217;ll announce soon, but in the meantime, this podcast episode is a small step towards just that.<\/p>\n<p>Another upcoming opportunity\u00a0that&#8217;s tailor made for smaller nonprofits (though larger nonprofits will benefit too) is a free online workshop I&#8217;m running starting on May 10. It&#8217;s called\u00a0&#8220;<em>How to Build a Thriving Nonprofit<\/em>&#8221; and is designed for both staff and board leaders.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you&#8217;ll join me in the workshop and you can register at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thrivingnonprofit.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.thrivingnonprofit.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>In this episode:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Who should handle which tasks at a small nonprofit?<\/li>\n<li>Should a small nonprofit be run more like a business?<\/li>\n<li>What can the board do when a founding ED leaves things a mess and trains the new ED to run things the same way\u2026 poorly?<\/li>\n<li>How do you fix a \u201crubber stamp\u201d board?<\/li>\n<li>Should an ED ever be in charge of running board meetings?<\/li>\n<li>What should a new, first-time ED ask the outgoing ED?<\/li>\n<li>Everyone is working insane hours and money is tight.
