Creative Disruption

Message for Sebastian: According to a recent study that is available at Third Sector New England, sabbaticals for nonprofit leaders can be "a relatively inexpensive but
highly productive capacity-building tool that yields measurable
results."

This study "exposes the myth that an executive sabbatical will be a
chaotic disruption, finding instead that the creative disruption of a
well-planned sabbatical can be productive for the entire leadership of
an organization."

Side effects may include an increase in organizational capacity as staff assume new roles, strengthened governance resulting from planning for the sabbatical, and rejuvenated executive directors with fresh ideas and perspectives. Do not continue for longer than three months without consulting a physician or Liz Hollander.
