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