Join Rhea Wong in this solo episode of Nonprofit Lowdown as she shares her top 10 insights and lessons learned from her journey as an Executive Director. This episode is inspired by Brittany, a new Executive Director Rhea met during a recent speech in Vegas. Whether you're a seasoned leader or just stepping into your role, this episode is packed with wisdom that'll help you navigate the challenges and triumphs of being at the top.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Perceptions Matter: Everything you do will be interpreted by your team, so be mindful of your actions and behaviors.

  2. Manage Expectations: No one will meet your high standards perfectly; learn to manage your expectations and delegate effectively.

  3. Protect Your Time: Focus on high ROI tasks and protect your most valuable asset—your time.

  4. Face Your Fears: The tasks you avoid out of fear are often the ones that will move the needle the most.

  5. Hire Slowly, Fire Quickly: Take your time to hire the right people and don't hesitate to let go of those who are detrimental to your culture.

  6. Adjust at the Top: The skills that got you to the top won't necessarily help you succeed there. Adapt and evolve.

  7. Self-Awareness: Your emotional state impacts your team. Be responsible for managing it.

  8. Get a Coach: Even top performers need a coach. An external perspective can help you grow.

  9. Find a Community: It's lonely at the top; find a community for support and camaraderie.

  10. Choose Happiness: You can be right or you can be happy, but you can't be both. Prioritize your happiness and team cohesion.
