Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

Last year, we shared our crowdsourced list of red flags that funders look for in grant proposals—the things that immediately reveal the weak points in an application and raise questions about the organization’s credibility. Not surprisingly, the question we got most in response to that article was: What are green flags for funders? A green flag is anything that would immediately signal to a funder that the nonprofit is a strong candidate for funding.

It can be lonely and isolating to be a nonprofit executive director. Being a leader of any kind may sound sexy (or scary), but anyone who has been a leader understands the isolation, the ups and downs, and how lonely it can be. The expression “It’s lonely at the top” is based on some truth. In business and politics and among celebrities, the circle of people you can trust often gets smaller and smaller.

The world of work has fundamentally changed.
