I worked at an organization where the person not in charge (although they wanted to be) always sat at the head of the table, and the executive director sat in the middle. It made a pretty big statement, as the executive director had difficulty truly being in charge. The employee seated at the head of the table was always calling the shots, telling people what to do, and when to do it, including the executive director.

For every $100 foundations give to an Ivy League school, how many dollars do you think foundations give to a historically Black college and university (HBCU)? That’s a trick question—it’s not a matter of dollars, but of cents. In fact, for every $100 foundations gave to the average Ivy League, they gave 56 cents to the average HBCU. HBCUs have long played a pivotal role in the United States.

Everyone knows storytelling = good. Humans wired for stories. We want to enter into them … become part of them… see ourselves, in some way, expressively reflected in the characters, plot and struggle. Everyone responds, all ears, to “Shall I tell you a story?” Yet there’s been a brouhaha of late around so-called “donor-as-hero” stories. I’ve long been a proponent of encouraging donors to jump right into the narrative to give it a happy ending.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards.
