Executive directors of nonprofit organizations have the difficult job of not only working with the clients served by the nonprofit and the staff that assists them, but also the board of directors.  It is a unique position that involves working "for" the board as their employee and working "with" the board to help facilitate their work.  Often, that juxtaposition leads to difficult issues that need to be addressed from time to time.

According to a recent survey of nonprofit executive directors, it was revealed that the average length of time a person serves in that capacity is 2-5 years.  Often the reason that leader steps down is a direct result of issue with board and/or staff.
