Reducing Burnout: The 7 Forms of Respect For Nonprofit Leaders and Teams 

The Nonprofit MBA Podcast 

Over the years, burnout among nonprofit leaders, employees, and volunteers has been a real and pervasive challenge. One could link it to the highly demanding nature of the job and, to some extent, the personalities of these individuals. However, a closer look at the issue has revealed that burnout could be reduced to the barest minimum if people understood what respect means to them. This is because people tend to have different views of what they think respect means to them. As a nonprofit leader, understanding what respect means to you and incorporating it into your organization’s culture would make your work seamless, thereby reducing burnout. In today’s podcast, Julie Pham from CuriosityBased and Stephen Halasnik from Financing Solutions, a leading provider of business loans for nonprofits, discuss reducing burnout: The 7 forms of respect for nonprofit leaders and teams.
