The people you help need you to be successful. But there are so many obstacles: a micromanaging board that doesnt understand its true role; insufficient fundraising and donors who make unreasonable demands; unclear and inconsistent messaging and marketing; a leader whos a star in her sector but a difficult bossAnd yet, many nonprofits do thrive.
