I feel like a lot of how an organization works has to come from the top. If an organization doesn’t have a good leader things will falter from below.

I previously worked for an organization where all of the staff members had fantastic, optimistic attitudes about their work. They loved it and wanted to make their organization better, but horrible leadership lead everyone to hate their jobs. So, I left. I think this is what is happening in a lot of nonprofits. EDs are having trouble finding the balance between doing their cause work, managing the workplace & leading their staff.

I applaud those that find the balance, and wish they could give some hints.
