1-1 Discussion: Nonprofit Leadership First, by way of introduction, share your major concentration and how this course and program fit into your career goals. Next, evaluate the nonprofit agency background provided in the case study dossier to prepare yourself in assuming a leadership role. Discuss the key attributes of a strong leader and why those are important characteristics. Consider whether leadership qualities for a nonprofit leader are different than other types of leadership. In response to your classmates' posts, justify the importance or relevance of the leadership characteristics described. Hello Class, My name is Kylie Ferland and I am Majoring in Business Administration with a Minor in Accounting. My concentrations are Nonprofit Management and Entrepreneurship. I am hopefully going to open my own nonprofit organization in the very near future. I want to open my own tutoring center that focuses on assisting low-income students whose parents are unable to afford tutoring services. I would base all payment on a sliding scale so that those that cannot afford it are able to get the services that they need. There are many attributes of strong leader. My top four attributes would have to be communicative, visionary, accountable, and ethical. Communication is a two-way street. To be able to communicate effectively, a leader also needs to be able to listen. Too many times leaders will hear from employees about an issue but they do not listen and think that the problem or the idea is not a good one. This can lead to employees not wanting to communicate with leadership and then the problems do not get resolved. Being a visionary as a leader means that the vision for the organization is clear and viable. Leaders must also be able to communicate this vision to the employees so that the employees can be successful. An accountable leader means that no matter what happens, the good and the bad, leaders take responsibility for their actions. They need to show that they are human too and when they make mistakes they are willing to learn and grow from them. They will also take responsibility for the actions of the organization as a whole because then the organization shows that they stand together and they are learning from their mistakes. Finally, an ethical leader will not only follow the policies and procedures of the organization, but also the laws and regulations and the unwritten policies that are in place. They are honest and admit when an error is made. They are the model for their employees (Indeed, 2023). Other important attributes of a strong leader are that they are hardworking, open-minded, confident, humble, passionate, disciplined, and motivating. A leader has more than from four key attributes. Every attribute works in tandem with other attributes. That is what makes up a strong, well-rounded leader. A nonprofit leader does not have attributes that are different from other types of leaders. The difference between a nonprofit and any other leader would just be what type of organization they run and what they need to do to help make that organization successful. It also depends on what
the leader wants to do to make the world a better place. A leader for a retail business can make a difference in the world that is just as important and big as a nonprofit leader. All the Best, Kylie References Indeed. (2023). Taking the Lead: A Leadership Qualities List for Effective Team Management .

In your initial post, argue the following: Which style of outreach works best: flamboyant or understated, subtle or showy, flashy or modest, calm or colorful? Justify how an agency should decide. In response posts to your classmates, evaluate to what extent an agency takes on the personality of its leader and what this means when that leader leaves.
4-1 Discussion: Political Correctness In this discussion you will consider governance structures in terms of political correctness. In your initial post, evaluate the value of being purposefully inclusionary and politically correct in all correspondence, policy documents, social media, outreach, conversations, and so on. What are the downsides of doing so? In response posts to your classmates, debate whether being politically correct inhibits an organization's ability to effectively and efficiently operate. What are the costs of not being politically correct?

What management skills are mandatory for a good leader and why In response to your peers, compare good and bad managers/leaders/instructors you have experienced in the past.

6-1 Discussion: Leadership Versus Risk Management In this discussion, you will address risk. In your initial post, compare and contrast bold leadership versus managing risk. What actions do strong leaders take that lesser leaders avoid? In response posts to your classmates, interpret how a risky move could be characterized as poor leadership or lack of change as strong leadership. Does avoiding risk mean losing opportunities?
7-1 Discussion: Boards of Directors In this discussion, you will consider your role as a potential board member. In your initial post, categorize what type of nonprofit board you have served on or would like to serve on and why. What do you feel are the challenges of being a board member? What nonprofit mission are you passionate about? In response posts to your classmates, consider nonprofits in your area that meet similar missions.
8-1 Discussion: Missing Skills In this discussion you will reflect on your (simulated) experience leading a nonprofit organization. In your initial post, evaluate which of the skill areas (Milestones One through Five) are your strongest and which are your weakest, if any. Conclude which skills were underemphasized in previous coursework or any skills that you feel were missing from the curriculum. In response posts to your classmates, assess which other courses were most useful in preparing you to run this organization and for your future career.
