DRG NEWS
David Edell, Dara Klarfeld and Josh Elkin wrote an article entitled "Preparing our Next Professional Leaders: It Takes a Community" that appears in the Jewish Education magazine, HaYidion. The entire edition contains articles on the "Crisis of Leadership" and each article contains insights that are applicable throughout the nonprofit sector. The issue of who is preparing our next professional leaders is one that we at DRG believe does not receive the attention it deserves. Read article.

DRG ARTICLES ON LEADERSHIP AND RECRUITING
Every month, DRG reviews best thinking and practices in professional staff
recruitment and development in the nonprofit sector.
This month's article on Emotional Intelligence
for Leaders looks at how what
was deemed a soft skill secondary to other professional and technical
skils, is now intergral to leadership success. The five aspects of emotional
intelligence are: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, sympathy,
and social skills
In this month's article, the author writes that without emotional intelligence "a person can have the best training in the world, an incisive analytical mind, and an endless supply of smart ideas, but he still won't make a great leader." Click here to read this article.
