Description

Do you struggle with perfectionism? You’re not alone. It’s so easy to get caught up in a rhythm of over-thinking and over-planning that sometimes the “doing” of the work seems to take a backseat. We know it makes matters worse, but why do we do it? Simple. Our own fear of it not being “right” or “perfect” the first time.It’s time to build a skateboard.Not an actual skateboard, of course. We’re talking about a minimum “valuable” version of whatever it is you’re working on. This concept is a critical part of leading in the next normal of nonprofit leadership. Learning it (and using it) will increase your efficiency and learning ability so you can make a more relevant impact on the communities you serve. In this episode, Tucker and Sarah discuss the different ways they’ve seen the skateboard analogy help nonprofit leaders increase team efficiency, buy-in, and impact. All thanks to the naturally iterative and collaborative approach of this framework.
