Conscience Crisis: The Impact of Your Nonprofit Not Living Your Values

One of the dominant factors leading to a sense of disillusionment and dissatisfaction with jobs in non-profit sector is belief, perceived or real, that the organization is not doing what they are preaching. When that happens, generating enthusiasm among employees and stakeholders becomes a challenge. The impact on the bottom line is considerable and non-profit leaders need to be cognizant of this issue. In order to address the problem, the organization needs to fundamentally evaluate their mechanisms and be honest to themselves.

Key Takeaways:
