The Plan and the Pivot: Embracing Ambivalence in Leadership - Non Profit News | Nonprofit Quarterly
Briefly

The webinar discusses the importance of 'planfulness' in organizations, emphasizing the need for clarity and determination in achieving goals. Michael Anderson highlights the challenge leaders face in balancing strategic planning with responsiveness. Effective organizations have detailed plans and accountability structures but must also navigate uncertainty and change. The ability to embrace ambivalence and remain adaptable is crucial for leaders as they encounter evolving challenges in their environments. This webinar aims to equip leaders with insights to manage this duality effectively.
Planfulness is about seeing the path, having the plan, and holding the focus there, being really clear on where we're going, and being determined to stay on that path.
Oftentimes, it can make us feel really confident and assured and really clear and determined on where we're going.
...it's about our own as individual leaders and our collective teams' ability to navigate and tolerate change, potentially significant change.
We do really see a significant leadership challenge in the organizational leaders we're working with and talking with right now holding both planfulness and responsiveness.
