Exit Right® Emergency Leadership Planning

Ensuring Organization and Leadership Continuity for
Nonprofit Corporations

HERE'S WHAT THEY SAY

It has been a year since I took the Emergency Leadership Planning Workshop and the application of the program has paid off in spades. Now we have three designates for the CEO position. The Emergency Leadership Planning process provided the template we used to turn our back-up plans into career development action succession plans. Weighing the cost of hiring consultants to do this against the price of the workshop it was a great value. Thank you Linda for simplifying a complex process.

We are a not-for-profit organization with one employee, me, and half time at that!  You can see why emergency leadership planning is so important to us. I'm happy to say we set and met our goal for completing the plan within one year. Linda was very generous with her time.  She reviewed our plan and gave us suggestions about things we hadn't thought about. I'd highly recommend this process to any company and certainly for not-for-profit organizations! Working with Linda was a pleasure.

The CMHA - Sudbury Manitoulin has used Make Things Happen for both the Emergency Leadership Planning and Succession Planning for Staff Positions processes for our agency. We found the processes and the tool kits provided useful and appreciate the MTH newsletter. We recommend hiring the services of Make Things Happen.

PRESENTATION DETAILS

This is a 4.5 hour, hands-on workshop where you will receive a turn key toolkit to put together an action plan for a temporary short-term succession plan and get the resources you need to develop policies and procedures for unexpected long-term and permanent situations.

Benefits:

• 69 page workbook ensures a succession policy is in place within 2 weeks to 9 months
• Peace of mind for boards of directors, CEOs, staff, clients, volunteers, membership and funders
• Protects financial resources — replacing a leader on the fly costs more, takes more time and increases the chance of making a poor hiring decision
• Protects human resources — 60% of all leaders will leave their current positions within the next 5 years. Of those 14% will retire and 46% will career-ladder out of the organization
• Ensures service continuance — leadership vacancy may destabilize operations and jeopardize service delivery
• ELP is an in-person, face-to-face workshop that provides capacity and team building for boards of directors, CEOs and key staff members
• Builds Community Leadership by ensuring leadership continuity 

Board members, executive directors, chief operating officers and chief executive officers of nonprofit and charitable corporations, foundations and associations are invited to attend. Perfect for those agencies involved in an accreditation process.

Cost — $200 per person includes workshop materials and lunch
