Today, executives of not-for-profit organizations face unique challenges in almost every facet of their job. The challenges of operating a not-for-profit in today's world can be mind boggling. Funding for key services can be hard to find and even harder to maintain. Donors expect efficient use of dollars and measurable outcomes. Boards now demand increased accountability and results. Selecting and retaining a high quality staff can be a challenge in itself.

Not for profit leaders are expected to make the tough decisions. A key component to making these decisions is to have the opportunity to fully consider the situation and weigh options in a comprehensive manner. Yet, it may not always be feasible to discuss these matters with your board either because they are not familiar with the intricacies of the matter or they do not have the proper background and expertise in a particular area. Likewise, it is not always possible to discuss these matters with subordinate staff.
