Americans are generous, but who wants to give of their time and who wants to give money? What are the similarities of those that give one or both? What are the differences? And how can nonprofit organizations engage them? Newport One, along with some other top industry experts, surveyed over 2,000 donors prior to the pandemic, and gained some insights into how and why people help others through giving. I got on the line with Craig DePole, president of Newport One, to unpack the survey and what it uncovers for key personas in our giving base. Download the survey here.

With more than 20 years of leadership experience, he currently advises nonprofit leaders, boards, and development teams through strategic consultation, coaching, and classroom instruction.

Leadership is influence.2. Everyone is a leader and everyone has to grow to maximize leadership impact.3. Leadership is about people. If the people aren’t better as a result of your presence, you’re not leading well. 4. Leading is challenging. As John Maxwell says, “If you’re a leader, there will never be two easy consecutive days in your live.” 5. If you wouldn’t follow yourself, why would you expect others to follow you? 6. The power of “just relaxing” in your leadership.7. Telling people what you think they want to hear isn’t leadership. You have to care enough to be candid, even when the feedback might hurt a little. 8. In leadership, character trumps skill all day long.9. The most influential leaders love people, but they don’t depend on being loved by people. 10. If you’re going to grow as a leader, you’re going to have to take risks. You’ll fail sometimes, but that’s ok. That’s part of the process. There’s so much more in this episode than what I’ve outlined here. I guarantee you’ll get a ton of value out of this conversation today!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/l3leadership)
