Nonprofits Face Leadership Shortage as Boomers Retire, Report Finds
|
|
“Nonprofits Face Potential Labor Shortfall.” Eugene and Agnes E.
Meyer Foundation Press Release 09/06/05.
Reprinted with permission.
Nonprofit organizations will face increasing challenges in finding and
retaining talented leaders as the U.S. population ages and baby boomers
retire, a new report from D.C.-based
Grantmakers for
Effective Organizations (GEO) predicts.
The report,
Investing in Leadership: A Grantmaker's Framework for Understanding
Nonprofit Leadership Development
(40 pages, PDF), notes that workforce growth in the United States has
slowed from an annual rate of 2.6 percent in the 1970s to 1.1 percent
today, and is expected to decline to 0.4 percent between 2010 and 2020.
Because corporate America and the public sector typically offer higher
pay and better benefits than the nonprofit sector — in 2004, for
example, businesses spent $6.5 billion on executive training — a
prolonged labor shortage and intense competition for top talent would be
especially challenging for nonprofits.
Funded by the
Eugene and
Agnes E. Meyer Foundation and the San Francisco-based
Evelyn and Walter Haas Jr. Fund,
the report provides a summary of current leadership development theories
and approaches, examines the connections between leadership and
organizational performance, and discusses how grantmakers can be more
effective supporters of nonprofit leadership development.
"Recognizing the challenges nonprofit
leaders face, grantmakers are becoming increasingly involved in
supporting leadership development," said GEO executive director Kathleen
Enright. "We produced this publication to provide a framework to help
grantmakers decide how best to invest in leadership development
support."
