“Why So Many Nonprofits Make the Wrong First Hire” Most nonprofits don’t have a hiring problem, they have a clarity problem. Before you hire a CDO, COO, or even an ED, you need to ask one question: “What outcomes must this leader deliver in their first 12 months?” When we ask boards this during searches, 80% rewrite the job description on the spot. The right hire starts with the right problem definition. If your org hasn’t revisited its leadership needs since 2020… you’re overdue. #nonprofitleaders #executivesearch #dogoodanddowell
