You've been feeding problems you thought you were solving

Organizations That Work is a newsletter for mission-driven leaders who are tired of dealing with the same problems over and over. Each theme names a problem clearly and gives you one concrete thing to do about it.

You got into your work because you want to make things better, not to become an organization design expert. You just want your organization to work so you can focus on what brought you there in the first place—advancing education, health, economic mobility, or other mission-driven work.

Organizations That Work is intended to make it easier for you to design your organization with intention so you can put your energy into the things that energize you back, written from the perspective of someone who has been where you are.

What you’ll get

See the problems that have been slowing you down more clearly and completely

An understanding of what's actually causing them—not the symptoms, but the root

One concrete action you can take to close the gap between your mission and reality
