Episode 11. Solve Problems Faster By Giving Your Staff Time To Think. (Conversation with John Hagan)

  • Summary

  • In today’s interview, John Hagan, President & CEO of Our Climate Common, calls on nonprofit board members and leadership teams to do two critical mission-building tasks: (1) examine their role in staff burnout; and (2) consider how the “rat wheel” approach to work hinders their organizations from solving the big problems of their mission.

    Helpful takeaways from this timely conversation include:

    • How much time are you spending on growing revenue vs. solving problems?
    • Are you aware of there is a difference?
    • Where is “think time” in your organizational structure?
    • How are you as leaders cultivating a less stressful work environment so that your staff have time to think about what they’re doing instead of just reacting?

    This conversation is a direct challenge to board and leadership to shift their thinking about thinking to better achieve their mission.
