Portland's WNBA team and their $125M leadership lesson

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

What happens when a $125 million sports franchise can't keep a president for 90 days? Portland's WNBA team just gave us a master class in organizational chaos—and a blueprint for how interim leadership can save the day.

I've done some investigation and am excited to share a few key takeaways with you that you can implement with your own organization.

🔥 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

  • The timeline of Portland's leadership disasters
  • Why multiple GM candidates turned down positions
  • How Clare Hamill's interim leadership can transform the organization
  • Critical succession planning lessons for nonprofit leaders and executives
  • The real cost of poor leadership transitions (spoiler: it's more than $$)

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

- Knowledge transfer protocols that prevent institutional memory loss

- Stakeholder confidence management during leadership crises

- How interim leadership becomes organizational development

- Why succession planning isn't just about retirement

- Building systems that prevent leadership disasters

The biggest business challenge in launching my Leaving Well work has been convincing boards, nonprofit leaders (and funders) to plan for something they don’t want to think about.
