Nonprofit Organizational Transitions and Strategy for Impact

Glick Davis & Associates (GDA) recently researched the issue of Co-Executive Directors in nonprofit management. We reviewed 11 articles, reports, and blog posts, including some materials from some of the country’s leading nonprofit management support organizations. Additionally, we have reviewed 2 literature reviews that address the current context of nonprofit management and innovations by necessity, in the sector, as well as co-leadership models in management more generally. All 13 sources reviewed are included as footnotes or endnotes.

This report is presented in the following four sections:

  1. Comparison of Co-Director (Co-ED) Model vs Sole Executive Director (ED) Model (including pros & cons)
  2. Tips for Making a Co-Directorship Work
  3. Disadvantages/Pitfalls of Co-Directorship
  4. GDA Considerations for a nonprofit board in approaching the search and hire of Co-Directors
