Creating the Most Effective Fund Development Plan for Your Organization
A Plan That Produces Ownership and Results
Leaders who engage their groups … may enjoy higher levels of morale, employee motivation, and loyalty. … Involvement, attention, and a willingness to listen, to reflect, and to be moved are all indications of respect.
It is our deepest desires that provide us with the strength and the willingness to attend to the tedium of process when we otherwise would turn off the light, close down the meeting, or just lose interest. When people follow their hearts, they equip themselves to grapple with process.
—Joline Godfrey, Our Wildest Dreams: Women Entrepreneurs Making Money, Having Fun, Doing Good (New York: HarperCollins, 1993), 19–20
