Don’t look in the mirror. Look out the door. No nonprofit can afford to be an island. As tempting as it may be to stay in your comfort zone, wearing blinders that enable you to forge straight ahead without noticing what’s going on around you, this is a dangerous practice. Because sometimes the landscape changes dramatically. And when it does, your nonprofit could get left behind.
