Getting Real about Leadership, GoFundMe, and Wealthy Donors

What makes a good leader? That’s the question Peggy Killeen, Senior Consultant at PGgrowth, poses today. Peggy joins Ed and Lisa to discuss the qualities that boards should look for when hiring leadership, and the foundational skills that may be overlooked in favour of more traditional business experience.

Later in the episode, Lisa discusses the staggering amount of money that GoFundMe raises for Canadian causes each year, and how the platform’s use may cause traditional charities to be forgotten. And Ed stresses the importance of having solid gift acceptance policies in order to avoid unwanted influence from certain wealthy donors.
