Your Nonprofit Is Growing. Are You? with Dr. Rob Harter

Every executive director works hard to achieve growth. But what happens to her job, and to her, when rapid growth actually happens?

Dr. Rob Harter led a nonprofit organization for nearly 14 years, growing its staff from 8 to more than 70 and its annual revenue to about $9 million. In this episode he explains how he raised his small organization's community profile, what had to change in his own leadership as the staff grew, and how to spot burnout in your team and in yourself before it costs you good people.

If your organization is growing faster than your capacity to lead it, this conversation will help you manage that growth without burning out.

This episode answers questions like: · How do I get my nonprofit known in my community? · How can my nonprofit get coverage on local radio or in the local newspaper? · What should I stop doing as my nonprofit grows? · What if a long-term and loyal employee can't keep up with our growth? · What are the early signs of burnout in my staff? · How can an executive director take a vacation without checking email? · Should my nonprofit be using AI?
