Dr. Todd Redden
The Institute for Healthcare and Academic Leadership
Multi-Generational Team Building

Leaders across the country are seeking ways to better engage multigenerational teams.  The need for high-impact, high-performance teams is essential to an organization’s growth and success. However, leaders are finding that one size fits all strategies do not work across the board for all team members.  The complexities that multigenerational teams bring are seen at the frontline and can be seen at the Board level,  and can even include volunteers.  Dr. Redden will outline these complexities and provide leadership strategies necessary for effectively leading multigenerational teams, volunteers, and best practices for Board leaders.

Nonprofit Relationships

They are critical to our purpose and our survival, but the type of relationship matters.  The idea of an independent nonprofit died somewhere between a cruel joke and a fool’s errand.  Nonprofits are by nature inter-dependent, but choosing the right type of relationship is just as important to your outcomes as choosing the right partner.  This session will help you explore how to identify and choose the right type of relationships for your nonprofit (or business).
