#105-From Founder to Sustaining ED with Elizabeth Green
Summary: <p>Founder's syndrome is a thing, y'all. As many of us have seen, founders can struggle once their organizations grow and scale because the skills set and mindset of starting an organization is different than managing it. Join me and Elizabeth Green, CEO of <a href="https://www.chalkbeat.org/">Chalkbeat</a>, to share how she grew her passion project into a multi-city, multi-million dollar national nonprofit. She's one of the rare people who knew exactly what she wanted to do when she grew up and doesn't struggle with control issues (like so many of us founder-types!). She is real and authentic about the challenges of growth, her own learning about building inclusive work environments and how insecurity can wreck a leader. </p> <p>Here are the resources Elizabeth mentions:</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Building-Better-Teacher-Teaching-Everyone-ebook/dp/B00FPT5MSQ">How Teaching Works: Building a Better Teacher</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Heavy-American-Memoir-Kiese-Laymon-ebook/dp/B01CO349N4/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=heavy&qid=1601474830&s=digital-text&sr=1-1">Heavy</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Range-Generalists-Triumph-Specialized-World-ebook/dp/B07H1ZYWTM/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3O650CUXH7NXH&dchild=1&keywords=range&qid=1601474897&s=digital-text&sprefix=range%2Cdigital-text%2C186&sr=1-3">Range</a></p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/nonprofitlowdown/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/nonprofitlowdown/support</a>
