Challenges for Leaders of Color

A new report, Trading Glass Ceilings for Glass Cliffs: A Race to Lead Report on Nonprofit Executives of Color, has been published by the Building Movement Project to describe some of these challenges. The key findings include:

• Leaders of color need supports, not more training.
• Leaders of color take on added burdens, without additional compensation.
• Leaders of identity-based organizations face distinct demands.
• Unique challenges come with taking over leadership from white predecessors.
• Too few white leaders factor race equity into their succession plans.
