The Value of Intentional Influence
Influence is potentially the most valuable—yet least utilized—currency a social sector organization holds. While the potential of influence clearly resonates with leaders, the path forward is less clear. This five-part series will explore why organizations should pursue influence with intentionality, how they can think about focusing their efforts, and what barriers of their own creation they must overcome to use influence effectively.
Curated by contributing authors Amy Celep and Sara Brenner of Community Wealth Partners, the series will include perspectives on influence from Jamie Merisotis of the Lumina Foundation and Kathy Merchant of the Greater Cincinnati Foundation.
