Link: Collaborations and Partnerships: My Non-profit Journey (Sofia Crisp)
“Each new stage of a non-profit organization’s growth requires, I feel, a strategic re-channeling of the organization’s energy.

I’ve seen too many accomplished, visionary leaders taken ‘out of the game’ by underestimating the virtue of collaboration as they grow. Much like Shakepeare’s Julius Caesar, they have a character flaw which holds them back. As the funds for nonprofits continue to decrease, the need for partnering and collaborating has become a necessity”.
