The program consists of three interactive workshops, assessments, and peer coaching over 4 months. The program was launched in 2013 and now runs 1-2 times per year in Washington, DC and the SF Bay Area.

ProInspire plans to select 1-2 faculty members in the San Francisco Bay Area. The faculty will work directly with our CEO, Bay Area Managing Director, and Director of Leadership Development Programs.

Background
The nonprofit sector is working to address pressing problems around the world. Like any organization, nonprofits need great talent to deliver results and create social impact. Yet most nonprofits lack infrastructure and capacity to grow and develop leaders. Resource constraints and a cultural mindset against “overhead” have exacerbated this problem. According to the Bridgespan Group’s article, The Nonprofit Leadership Development Deficit, few organizations systematically develop and support promising leaders. “In our survey, more than half of respondents ranked their organizations lower than 6 out of 10 on their ability to develop their staff. When asked why, respondents said that their organizations lacked the talent management processes required to develop staff, and that they had not made staff development a high priority.”
 
In 2012, ProInspire conducted a landscape analysis of training programs offered across the sector. ProInspire identified a large gap of programs to support nonprofit professionals at their early career and manager stage. They conducted research with nonprofit managers and found that over 50% felt they currently do not have the knowledge, experience, and resources needed to be successful in their current management role. ProInspire also learned that nonprofit leaders want to provide their emerging leaders professional development, but cannot pay the high costs of traditional academic and for-profit programs.  Based on this research, ProInspire designed and launched Managing for Success to support nonprofit managers through a high quality, cost effective, local leadership development program. 

Managing for Success Program Overview
The Managing for Success program focuses on three key areas – Managing Self, Managing Individuals, and Managing in Organizations.  The goals of Managing for Success are to help participants (Management Fellows):

• Have awareness of emotional intelligence and how it impacts their leadership of teams;
• Understand their personality styles and preferences, and those with whom they work;
• Build competencies to effectively communicate and delegate to direct reports and colleagues;
• Have tools to use in coaching and giving feedback; and
• Establish a network to support professional growth.

ProInspire recruits and selects a cohort of 20-25 nonprofit managers from that region for each program.  Leadership development takes place through five key activities:
1. Training: Fellows participate in three full-day workshops.
2. Assessments: Fellows complete MBTI or DISC, and EQ assessments to increase effectiveness in managing and collaborating with teams.
3. Coaching: Fellows learn coaching skills and work with a peer coaching circle.
4. Personal Advisory Board: Fellows establish a Personal Advisory Board, including mentors, colleagues and other supporters.
5. Homework: Fellows practice skills and deepen understanding through assignments and their Fieldwork.
