What you can control…

In recent months my team at Armstrong McGuire has been helping some terrific organizations across North Carolina navigate change – transitions in executive leadership; the loss of long time staff members and volunteers; changes in vision and direction; and growing pains as they seek to serve better or serve more. Listening to the reactions to change among board members, departing executives, nervous staff members, dedicated volunteers and donors, I have sensed their struggle between longing for things to stay the way they are, and embracing the inevitable, unavoidable reality of change.
