Visionary Leadership from the Nonprofit Lens

Visionary nonprofit leaders see beyond today's crises to create lasting change. The sector faces urgent challenges: half of all nonprofit leaders are nearing retirement, and many organizations operate on less than three months of reserves. Visionary leaders navigate these immediate pressures while building for the future.

These leaders don't just protect what exists—they create sustainable organizations through strong systems, developing emerging leaders, and forming strategic partnerships that expand their impact. True visionary leadership connects three essential pillars: mission, financial health, and leadership continuity. When these work together, communities continue to be served with excellence for years to come.

In this episode, we'll explore what visionary leadership actually means in the nonprofit sector with our special guest, Claude Robinson, Founder and President of Onyx Strategic Partners. We'll discuss the core principles that define visionary leadership and how leaders can develop them.
