The Non-profit Sectors Leadership Deficit Over the next decade, non-profits with revenues greater than
$250,000 will need to attract over 600,000 new senior managers. If
the sector experiences significant consolidation and lower than
projected turnover rates, the number needed may be closer to
300,000. However, if turnover rates are higher than expected, the
need will increase to one million. By 2016, these organizations will
need nearly 80,000 new senior managers per year. This report states that the non-profit sector lacks resources to
develop large numbers of managers internally. The sector also lacks
robust management education and executive search capabilities. To
address the leadership deficit, boards and current managers, as well
as donors, should:
- Invest in building skilled
management teams
- Refine management rewards to
attract and retain skilled leaders
- Expand recruiting to foster career
mobility
