If #nonprofitfundraising is focused mostly on financial outcomes, is there is a tendency toward armored leadership?

#brenebrown coined the term #Armoredleadership as part of her #Daringleadership principles that combine mind and heart.

"Armored leadership, [focuses on] being a knower and being right, versus daring leadership, being a learner and getting it right."

In this spirit, I ask our profession—how can we move from leading by and measuring financial outcomes toward a high-level fundraising practice where outcomes are the natural consequence of our efforts?

Brown says that “ In a culture and within ourselves where there is armor around being a knower and being right, not knowing is perceived as weakness.”

#Agilefundraising shifts our orientation toward learning and collaborating rather than being right.

Now You: Are you striving to be a daring leader, a learner who is willing to be vulnerable and open?
