(Newswire.net — February 10, 2016) Blacksburg, VA — SynerVision Leadership Foundation in association with Patheos.com has launched a blog in the Progressive Christian Channel called The Nonprofit Entrepreneur.
Church Leaders and other leaders in charities have inherited broken and dysfunctional systems and cultures. What we have been taught in leadership is wrong! The way we have led and are leading charities is not as we should be doing. We think in minimalist terms and create a culture of scarcity thinking rather than a mindset of abundance. The Nonprofit Entrepreneur is a resource for people leading charities who want a different paradigm for leadership. This practical and relevant blog is written from an insider perspective by Hugh Ballou, The Transformational Leadership Strategist, who served in church music ministry for 40 years in churches from 120 to 12,000 in membership. Ballou currently serves as advisor to pastors as an organizational strategist as an antidote to the church consultants who have the answers. Ballou offers systems and strategies for creating a New Architecture of Engagement for church and nonprofit leaders, which is reflected in The Nonprofit Entrepreneur blog.
Topics and perspectives are counter-intuitive to what most writers are contributing to the dumbing down of leadership in charities. Past and future topics include the following:
- Leadership Equality is Dumbing Down
- Pastors are Entrepreneurs…So Get Over It!
- Are You Feeling Worthy to Lead?
- 4 Taboo Words for The Nonprofit Entrepreneur: Changing a Word Can Change a Paradigm
- The Way We Think About Charitiy Leadership is Wrong!
- Is the Church a Business?
- Conflict, How Leaders Make it Worse
- Eliminating Volunteers
Leaders of charities often think that low functioning boards and apathetic volunteers as a sign of the times and not a result of leadership. The same thinking applies to finances. Leaders blame the economy and low stakeholder engagement for low income. The lack of strategy, low functioning boards and committees, and small donations is a direct response to confusion. When donors, sponsors, grant makers, and other supporters do not understand why it’s important to make a financial commitment and what the impact of the financial commitment will be, then they will not respond.
The themes above are consistent with the topics and themes presented on The Nonprofit Entrepreneur. I invite you to check out this new blog now hosted on Patheos, the largest religion site in the world.
