Headlines tell us that religious organizations, charities and businesses of all kinds are experiencing failures in leadership and organizational culture. Why are we failing to live up to our own values? Leaders are balancing the heavy burdens of missional success and institutional success. In the process, we often find ourselves adopting practices that promise financial security and achievement of short-term goals but undermine the primary mission. We need to develop creative and effective strategies that are born of our convictions while having the courage to maintain those same convictions. That is the mission of Concord Solutions: helping non-profits find agreement between core values and common practices.
