    Ep. 4 - Past Its Prime...or How to Survive Founders Syndrome
    Nov 7 2021
    The episode where we find that Founders have an expiration date...and flying blind in a storm rarely has a good outcome.   Enmeshed identity with the organization. Clinging to an original vision...from 40 years ago. Refusing to adapt to change. Resisting new ideas. Holding all the cards...and the purse strings. These are among the symptoms that can be found when Founders Syndrome is strangling an organization.    On this episode, we chat with Lisa Young, President of an organization that does powerful work in the Dominican Republic providing education, healthcare, and community support. Our conversation revolves around managing a founder resistant to letting go, the impact of the founder on the success or failure of the organization, and how to manage the careful and delicate removal of their death grip.

    Ep. 3 - Like An Albatross Around Her Neck
    Oct 24 2021

    The episode where we find out that boards are not really useful but can be enthusiastic.  Bob Nolan, Executive Director of Development for the School of Public Health at Indiana University, takes us through an experience he had in a previous position, where his board approved an ambitious national fund development plan, refused to resource it, and had little interest in its success. We explore why boards behave this way, what could be done differently, and ask our audience to solve the biggest question: What is growing fundraising organically mean anyway?
