Founder Syndrome

July 28th, 2008

A friend is experiencing some of the dynamics and unique weirdness in
behaviour that stems from the Founder Syndrome. I had a few excellent
reference documents that I shared with her. The first is called:
Founder’s Syndrome: How Corporations Suffer — and Can Recover and the second is called: Founder’s Syndrome – Who Me?
The articles present an excellent explanation and point out some
options for Boards to follow when this type of situation arises.

The Social Non Profit – My Lens

A social non profit is attuned, responsive and adaptive to the complex factors affecting its constituents and communities. In a social non profit there is an alignment between staff, services, governance systems and online communications. Social non profits value learning and innovation and believe in working smarter by using social tech tools to enhance communication, collaboration and learning amongst staff, volunteers, partners and service users. These organizations believe that strategic use of social media empowers staff, improves services and strengthens governance practices.
