With everything else going on, who has time to plan for an executive transition? According to three major nonprofit leadership studies, the war for talent is on. Nonprofits spend millions of dollars each year on executive search firms and talent scouts looking for new leadership. With more than 65% of nonprofit leaders saying they intend to leave their jobs between 2005 to 2010 and fewer entrants.
