Leadership in the Nonprofit Sector Considered - By Lance Winslow

Leadership principles are well-known and many leaders are indeed, phenomenal in business, government and military, but a leader that can work with volunteers in a non-profit group and get maximum productivity and efficiency out of their team, well, that's a special kind of leader, one, which we should all take notice of.
Let's face it, we live in a capitalistic society and we normally are quite comfortable with paying for performance. But in a nonprofit endeavor there often is never enough money to pay for performance, rather the non-profit sector leader must ignite the passion of the workers to join together in a common cause; easier said than done.
A leader in this position must gain the respect from his or her team by paying attention to their personal needs and understanding what makes them individuals. A true non-profit leader will know the names of every worker's spouse, children and even the family pets. If you doubt this, then find a successful nonprofit leader and ask them about their workers and their families, ask them if they know the names of their dogs. I bet they do.
There are some remarkable leaders in the nonprofit sector, true leaders that really motivate and it is really amazing their abilities, sincerity and their team's accomplishments. Of course, there are also many that run things with a Machiavellian flair, but really they have a tough time with it and often, end up leaving a trail of debris, before they move on to another leadership position elsewhere.
