How Can Nonprofits Exemplify Strong Leadership And Make an Impact? with Tim Ditloff

How Can Nonprofits Exemplify Strong Leadership And Make an Impact?

In this episode I’m talking with Tim Ditloff, an avid sailor, about what leadership looks like. After hearing his story, his passion for building strong teams, and his unique take on leadership, I knew my new friend was a great person for you to meet too. With a lot of in depth and fun analogies, he relates sailing to strong leadership. I recommend following him on LinkedIn for a lot of thoughtful, inspirational posts on life, leadership, and sailing!

***************** Things to Remember As a Leader *****************
Tim has a lot of thoughtful wisdom to share with us:
⭐ Your path might not always be straight. Adjust to the zigs and zags.
⭐ Celebrate small victories. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
⭐ Each person’s seemingly ‘small’ task is very important in the ultimate journey.

***************** How Can Nonprofits Live Out Strong Leadership? *****************
Tim has worked with his share of nonprofits over the years. He recommends that we focus on these things:
1️⃣ Remember why you exist
2️⃣ Remember what you are good at/your strengths
3️⃣ Think about if you are making progress
4️⃣ Map out your course, set up milestones, and celebrate along the way
5️⃣ Make sure your team is on the same page

***************** Lessons From Sailing on Leadership *****************
Tim relates each of the following leadership characteristics to sailing and teaches us how to think about them from a new perspective. Listen in to get all of the thoughtful analogies he gives us on these powerful points:
⭐ Steward leadership: Take care of each other. You’re not on the boat alone.
⭐ You can’t take care of others without taking care of yourself too.
⭐ Take the time to step back and observe how things are going in regards to the above two things to make the most impact.
⭐ Clear communication. Communication is vital for life or death on the sea; communication can be the line between success and failure in a nonprofit.

***************** Challenge Question *****************
What sailing lesson from this episode can you compare to your nonprofit journey?
