“Great leaders are great students, and the world is their classroom,” says Damon Lembi , author of the new book The Learn-It-all Leader. “Learn-It-All leaders are constantly creating and re-creating themselves, their companies, and their leadership. They are information extractors. They pull what they learn about everything—be it product innovation or how to inspire a team—from their lived experience,” adds Lembi.

Sometimes, when two things come together, they become more than the sum of their parts. Like peanut butter and chocolate. As a grantmaking organization, you know you need a way to organize your funding requests. And you need a way to organize the contact records for the people behind the organizations who apply. But where the magic happens is when you use your GMS—the single place for all your grantmaking processes—as a powerful customer relationship management (CRM) system as well.

The idea of permission marketing was popularized by Seth Godin, who wrote: Permission marketing is the privilege (not the right) of delivering anticipated, personal and relevant messages to people who actually want to get them. It recognizes the new power of the best consumers to ignore marketing. It realizes that treating people with respect is the best way to earn their attention.
