Afterall, nonprofit is your tax status, it shouldn’t be your business model.

Try to avoid the content-driven model of an expert presenting for 50 minutes with a rushed Q/Q at the end. Recent research and teaching practice shows that the lecture is a less effective teaching tool. If materials are shared ahead of time, with reading assignments or brief exercises, there is more interaction.

This is best accomplished by allowing employees to see clearly where they stand in the organization versus where they want to be in their careers. They pose alternatives.
