In “The Essentials” we cover the three most important questions every leader needs to ask, why truth matters in leadership, how to build, establish, and maintain trust, and why a clear mission and vision is important for handling criticism. We will discuss the difference between a group and a team, how to measure the inverse, why results are part of your brand, and the leader’s moral imperative.

We will cover these and many other topics, including some bonus content, in 26 video lessons each about 6-11 minutes long. You will also receive a full-color workbook with worksheets to help you process what you just learned, and a transcript of each video in case you wanted to quick search a particular line or idea that was helpful for you. You can go at your own pace, and revisit the lessons as many times as needed.

The Not-For-Profit Sector

Non-profit organizations have unique organizational challenges that often make leading and managing more difficult and thus lead to greater complications and potentially higher levels of inefficiency and dysfunction. Not surprisingly, the key challenge is to be absolutely clear on the core mission, vision, and values and applying them to the decisions and behaviors of your work.

"Mission-driven" | The “mission” of a non-profit institution is “aspirational” and “convictional.” In other words, it is not primarily a “material” mission. However, all organizations live as material institutions that seek to accomplish material outputs. We can help you synthesize and navigate a core conviction and an institutional mission so that all constituents are clear on what your purpose, your goals, and how to behave accordingly.

Constrained Resources | When financial ROI (return on investment) is not the main objective, money can frequently be lacking. How to raise funds and manage funds requires a completely different set of fiduciary philosophies and principles.

Accountability And Kindness | Some of the most problematic confusions exist when organizational accountability is necessary, but personnel appeal to the expectation of “kindness” and “compassion” that is often core to a benevolent institution. Recognizing the differences and distinctions will help maintain the fidelity of both, the compassionate care of the individual and the commitment to institutional integrity.

Religious Institutions | The Via Leadership Center has unique training and experience in both theology and the behavioral sciences. Understanding the dynamics between those two disciplines is one of the most challenging complications for spiritual communities. Not all “business” practices are appropriate according to one’s religious convictions. Not all “theologies” make for good organizational integrity.
