Talk about damned if you do, damned if you don’t: The nonprofit leadership crisis exists, in part, because the next generation of leaders sees a bleak future in terms of personal compensation and is leaving the sector for greener pastures. Meanwhile, salaries for nonprofit hospital executives are so high that a Massachusetts legislator has proposed […]
