How to Lead and Give with Bravery and Humility:
Communities rely on leaders to act, requiring fundamental shifts in their thought processes, how they function, and what they pursue.

Focusing on constant achievement is both intimidating and extremely limiting. What if leaders changed their mentality to be proud of taking risks–even when they fail?

Leaders don't need answers to start making changes. They need to accept their duties and obligations as leaders, including finding development opportunities. They must also consider the possibility that others are better suited to lead.

Listen to and engage more deeply with their networks.
Design programs influenced by the philanthropy community.
Pursue ways to effective family philanthropy that prioritize listening, trust, and equity.
For Philanthropy to thrive, leaders need to take ACTION!
