Beth Campbell is an award-winning professor of management and leadership development at the University of Minnesota. Her main research projects focus on the consequences high performers spark for themselves and how high performers affect their peers and their teams. She has published in leading academic journals, including the Academy of Management Journal and the Journal of Applied Psychology, while also serving as Chief Operations Officer of the OB Division of the Academy of Management. She also serves on the editorial boards of the Academy of Management Journal, the Journal of Applied Psychology, and as Associate Editor at Personnel Psychology. Beth holds a Ph.D. in management from the University of Maryland and a B.A. in organizational psychology from the University of Michigan. In this episode we discuss the following: Hiring a star performer seems like an easy win, but Beth's research shows that hiring stars can trigger status conflicts and envy. Research suggests that "star power" hits diminishing returns once a team is composed of more than 20% high performers, as too many "hot shots" can lead to ego clashes rather than collaboration. To avoid these pitfalls, leaders can look for stars who possess humility and high emotional intelligence, as they're more likely to share credit and lift those around them. Success isn't just about chasing the best talent, but being thoughtful about the character traits of stars and the system they'll be working in.

Each team will work with a dedicated Gas Networks Ireland liaison, supporting the development, testing and validation of solutions with the potential for deployment at scale. Dr Diarmuid O'Brien, CEO, Research Ireland, said: "I wish every congratulations to the five teams being funded as part of Research Ireland's partnership with Gas Networks Ireland. The research these teams are undertaking will support Ireland on the path to decarbonisation. Cross-sector collaboration is vital for Ireland to meet its national commitments to be climate-neutral by 2050. The Challenge model of embedding end users into the team and engaging with key stakeholders from the project outset will help ensure that real and tangible impacts are delivered. I look forward to seeing the teams progress their solutions over the coming months."

Youth skills NPO, Afrika Tikkun has sounded a new and chilling warning as it projects that nearly five million young South Africans will vanish. The organisation says, the youngsters will not be leaving the country, and they will not be going into hiding, but they will effectively "disappear" from our economy. These are the matriculants of 2025 and the graduates of years past who, after months of silence from employers, are finally giving up. They are slipping into the shadows of the "Not in Education, Employment, or Training" category, becoming economically invisible and socially disconnected. Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Chief Operations Officer of Afrika Tikkun,Tiyani Mohlaba

Vanessa Lemarié, Chief Operations Officer at myTomorrows, which is a platform for connecting patients, physicians, and clinical trial sponsors using a Trial Search AI tool designed to improve the accuracy of matching patients with suitable trials. The technology aims to speed up trial recruitment, increase diversity by reaching underserved populations, and ultimately shorten the drug development timeline. There is a particular focus on patients with no treatment options or who have not responded to current therapies. Vanessa explains, "We are all about patients. First and foremost, we want to help patients know their options. Patients who turn to us either have no treatment options for their conditions or have exhausted the treatment options. They are looking for alternatives and insights into whether we can help them find, for example, a clinical trial. Physicians who treat those patients turn to us."  "And last but not least, we work with biopharma companies that plan and conduct clinical trials and that sponsor expanded access programs. And those are our clients. So we connect all of those stakeholders. In addition, we work very closely with representative groups of patients and patient advocacy groups to make sure that we are known and to make sure that we understand what specific patient groups might need from companies like ours. So we kind of connect the dots, I guess, and an otherwise somewhat siloed system sometimes, and consider ourselves a platform player.

Waarom krijgt je buurman gratis glasvezel en moet jij 400 euro betalen? En waarom wil KPN nóg een netwerk aanleggen waar er al eentje ligt? Albert Vergeer van Delta Fiber legt de complete glasvezelwedstrijd bloot. Als COO van Delta Fiber zit Albert midden in wat hij “het landjepik” noemt: de strijd om de laatste onverglaasde gebieden in Nederland.

Randal en Jurian duiken met Albert in de rekensommen die bepalen of jouw straat glasvezel krijgt, de Mexicaanse standoffs tussen providers en gemeentes, en waarom Ziggo binnenkort op Delta’s netwerk gaat leveren. Over Albert Vergeer Albert Vergeer is Chief Operations Officer bij Delta Fiber, de op-een-na-grootste glasvezeleigenaar van Nederland met 1,7 miljoen aansluitingen.

Organizational assessments can sound intimidating—like a test, a grade, or a “gotcha.” We sit down with Joan Brown, Chief Operations Officer at Third Sector Company, to reframe assessments as one of the smartest business moves a nonprofit can make—especially during leadership transition.Joan explains that a strong organizational assessment is not about blame. It's a systematic look at operations, performance, systems, and culture to answer one question: Are we operating in the best possible way to serve our mission? The real value is that it creates clarity and alignment across the organization—so decisions can be made with facts, not feelings or assumptions.This conversation is especially timely for boards and leaders navigating an interim period. Joan shares why assessment belongs at the top of the interim playbook: it builds a shared reality of where the organization truly stands. And that shared reality becomes the foundation for priorities, staffing decisions, resource deployment, and even a far more accurate CEO/ED job description—particularly after a long-term “legacy leader” has held an outsized set of responsibilities for years.You'll also hear the nuanced difference between transitions when a beloved CEO departs versus when a leader has been let go: in one case, people may defend the past; in the other, emotion can flood the process. Either way, a transparent and participatory assessment helps separate noise from truth and turns tension into forward motion.Joan says it best: “The main goal of the assessment process is shared reality.” When nonprofits build that shared reality early—using data, participation, and transparency—they gain the power to prioritize confidently, stabilize culture, and position the next leader for success.If your board is preparing for leadership change, facing recurring “fires,” or simply wants better decisions with limited resources—this episode is your push to start the assessment conversation now.Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Accessibility has long been aided by the advancement of technology. When it comes to artificial intelligence, accessibility is top of mind for Taylor Arndt, Chief Operations Officer at Techopolis Online Solutions. Arndt has been blind since birth, and so accessibility has been a lifelong battle. When she was in school, she often received physical materials she was unable to read. So, she bought her own hand-held scanner and downloaded a screen reader. At 14, Arndt taught herself to code. Now as a coder working on AI, Arndt says in order for it to help others, the AI models need to be trained on data that has already incorporated accessibility measures.

In this week's episode of Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra welcomes Dr Courtney Maxey-Jones, Director of the Coronary Care Unit at Upstate University Hospital and a cardiac anesthesiologist intensivist by training. Dr Maxey-Jones co-founded and serves as Chief Operations Officer of GOMED, a not-for-profit organization transforming how we think about medical device waste and global healthcare equity. Dr Maxey-Jones shares the origin story of GOMED - born from witnessing the staggering waste generated in cardiac operating rooms, where expensive single-use devices are discarded due to expiration dates or changing surgeon preferences. Together with her partners, cardiac surgeon Dr Farhan Nadeem and physician assistant Connor Wasilnak, they recognized an extraordinary opportunity to make use of these waste items. Dr Kalra and Dr Maxey-Jones examine the ethical complexities of equipment reuse, the critical unmet needs for EP devices and cath lab equipment internationally, and GOMED's innovative partnership with Syracuse University biomedical engineering students to develop low-resource autoclaves. This episode reveals how observation of systemic waste evolved into a sustainable model for global cardiovascular care equity.
