Curiosity drives much of the content on this podcast, and when Erik Hanberg's book, The Little Book of Boards, showed up in my email, I felt compelled to buy it for several reasons.Of the six or seven boards I've served on, some have been boring experiences, others have been exceptional. I was curious if this book would have been valuable to me during my first board experience, which wasn't great--it definitely would have been.While Erik's background is in the non-profit world, this book and conversation apply to any organization. Some big ideas we hit are performing due diligence for the board you are considering, getting involved outside board meetings, strategic planning, compensation committees, and mission statements.

If you've ever wondered what it takes to be a great executive director, you're not alone. After all, you don't study it at school. And if you're like many ED's or aspiring ED's, you probably worked your way up through the nonprofit world by doing it all yourself. And that skill set isn't what will take you to the next level. Enter Erik Hanberg... After getting thrown into the fire in the nonprofit world at the age of 23, Erik worked for a variety of nonprofits both big and small. And after learning how things were done at the best nonprofits, he asked himself a simple question: “What if I could teach my younger self what I wish I'd known about running a nonprofit?" His answer turned into a series of books on how to be a more effective nonprofit leader. And in this episode of A Modern Nonprofit Podcast, Erik joins us to talk about how YOU can be a more effective Executive Director.
