Issuing New Life to a Faltering Organization

LEADERSHIP COACHING CASE STUDY

The Customer

A an organization local to Central Minnesota had been struggling to sustain itself.  The organization and the Board of Directors had used all its energy, resources, and ideas to serve their constituents and revitalize the health of the organization.  It began to look as though the only option was to fold the tent, surrender to reality, and move on to different projects.

The Problem

What about our mission?  Aren’t there still those who desperately need and want this organization’s program?  The Board realized the answer was a resounding yes, but without new ideas, money, and energy it seemed hopeless.

It seemed their constituents, who needed them most, would be abandoned, left to fend for themselves.

Service We Provided

Without a Vision was brought in to lead the search for a new Executive Director, in hopes that this new leader could breath new life into the organization.

Without a Vision is uniquely positioned to accomplish the task for recruiting new organization leadership for several reasons:

  • A longtime association and acquaintanceship with hundreds of people in influential positions.
  • A bias for action and problem solving.
  • Experience in having been in the trenches in a variety of leadership positions over a long period of time.
  • No personal bias or selfish goals.
  • A fervent desire to help others.
  • Not personally needing or wanting the limelight.

Proven Results

Without a Vision eventually spoke with Joan.  She had just recently retired from a high-profile, successful career, and Without a Vision realized she’d be an ideal candidate to take on the challenges of serving as the organization’s Executive Director.

After speaking with Without a Vision, Joan said yes.  She served for more than ten years as a tireless, visionary, and effective leader who transformed vision into reality and sustained it.

Even the best intentioned leaders wear blinders, and these become especially intense when fear is induced — much like a struggling organization would feel.  Ironically, this happens most when an organization most needs to consider outside views.  Without a Vision Consultancy was proud to have provided this organization and Board with the expertise and experience their leaders could rely on to remove these blinders.
