Welcome to the Carnival and Becoming a Better Leader

Welcome to this week’s Carnival of Nonprofit Consultants! Our theme this time around was nonprofit leadership and bloggers rose to the occasion with posts about improving leadership capacity, jumpstarting leadership skills, and accomplishments of current leaders of color. I hope you enjoy and learn from this week’s seven great posts on becoming a better leader:

• Emily at Upside Down Bananas says we needn’t wait for a big fancy leadership strategy, but we can and should lead right now in 3 Simple Gestures: Leading on the inside
• Michele Martin at The Bamboo Project Blog tells Gen-Xers and Millennials how to develop leadership capacities in a world where no one will be doing it for you in Note to the Next Generation of Leaders: Don’t Wait for Baby Boomers to Hand Over the Reins
• Heather at Nonprofit Leadership 601 tells us how to transition into a new nonprofit community and jumpstart your network in Tips for Moving To A New City

• Tracey at Black Gives Back highlights black philanthropy and humanitarianism in Magic Johnson Wins Civil Rights Award
  
• Melanie at the Timpano Group blog gives nonprofit board members four ways to improve their leadership skills in Building Better Nonprofit Board Leaders
• Alvaro at Brain Fitness Blog presents a humorous perspective on the gender differences involved in leadership and management in Top Ten Tips for Women Who Lead Men
• This blogger highlights current events involving leaders of color in What Leaders of Color Are Doing Right Now and encourages readers to check out the updated wiki with professional development opportunities to help with your own leadership!

I hope you enjoyed the Carnival! Next week it’ll be hosted over at Nonprofit Leadership 601. Remember you can always keep up with the Carnival of Nonprofit Consultants no matter who’s hosting by subscribing to the Carnival feed.
