About Me
Margaret Donohoe has focused her experience, insight, and energy on helping a new generation of nonprofit leaders navigate the many opportunities and challenges of this career choice. Her insight is not just academic or theoretical; it comes from her own 25 years of experience in the sector as an executive director, interim director for organizations in transition, community board member — and now consultant.
Margaret is the co-author of the best-selling "Executive Director's Survival Guide: Thriving as a Nonprofit Leader" . She is a contributing author and frequent trainer for management support organizations, nonprofits, and professional development groups on the topics of sustaining nonprofit leaders, executive transitions, board-executive director partnerships, leadership planning, and founder transitions.
Active on a variety of nonprofit boards and task force, she has an M.B.A. from Santa Clara University and pursues professional development in areas of critical importance to the sector that provide her with a broad foundation to help agencies survive and prosper in these changing times.
Leadership and Succession Planning
For most nonprofit organizations, the term succession planning should no longer be limited to grooming a select individual to fill a key position. Few community-based nonprofits are large enough to have that depth of expertise on staff. We suggest a more systematic approach to nonprofit succession planning — leadership planning that integrates strategic planning, performance reviews, knowledge management, leadership development and transition, and emergency succession planning.
Transition Management and Searches
A change in staff leadership is one of the most important, challenging and powerful opportunities your organization will face. Properly managed, it enables your organization to change leadership, maintain momentum and strengthen its capacity.
Each transition is unique and usually far more complex than the simple hiring decision it appears to be. Leadership in Transition goes beyond candidate searches. We help you prepare for and hire the individual who can most effectively partner with the board to lead the agency toward its goals.
Training and Presentations
In addition to consulting, Leadership in Transition provides customized training and support. We offer workshops, conference presentations, leadership retreats, as well as individual mentoring for board and staff leadership.

My Life in Leadership: The Journey and Lessons Learned Along the Way Review by: Margaret DonohoeMonday, January 23, 2012 (1 years 111 days ago) Described as a national treasure, an inspiration and a shining light, Frances Hesselbein and her life story continue to be one of the most remarkable sagas that have been rooted in the nonprofit sector. How did a woman with no college degree rise from a troop leader to become the CEO of the Girl Scouts, win the Presidential Medal of Freedom and be named by Fortune Magazine as the “Best Nonprofit Manager in America”?

Nonprofit Sustainability: Making Strategic Decisions for Financial Viability Review by: Margaret DonohoeMonday, January 09, 2012 (1 years 125 days ago) This books challenges nonprofit leaders to re-examine their decision making processes and recalibrate how we think about mission impact and financial return. Jeanne, Jan, and Steve draw on their vast and well respected expertise in finance, strategy, governance and funding to offer us common language, process, analysis, and insights to help Boards and staff find objective balance in the ongoing subjective debate of impact vs. sustainability. They are not preachy or fluffy in their message. Rather, they pull together fairly complex topics in a simple way that engages nonprofit organizations in a values driven discussion that blends mission with strategic business planning.
