Great performers don't always make great leaders. That gap is costing nonprofits people they can't afford to lose.

As nonprofits head into the busiest stretch of the year, Britt Stockert revisits a listener favorite with Chris Wong, founder of Leadership Potential and a licensed therapist who builds leadership programs inside nonprofits. They talk about accidental leadership: the quiet gap between being a great performer and being ready to lead a team, and why closing it matters most right before things get loud.

Spotting potential is easy. Developing it is non-negotiable.

What You'll Learn

• What accidental leadership is and why it happens even in the best-run nonprofits
• Why promotion skills and leadership skills aren't the same thing
• How one avoided conversation can quietly cost you your best people
• What leaders can do right now to close the gap
