Grant Makers Group Debates
How to Play Leadership Role
agenda? Can it continue to
try to be all things to all
people?
In the past we would have
called that the $64,000 question, but I’m not sure what the
right number would be today.
It’s larger than 64,000. What
we’re trying to determine now
is what it means to be a “capital
L” leadership organization, given how quickly today’s external environment is changing.
There are some big questions
and there needs to be honest dialogue and an examination.
Continued from Page 23
So it sounds like there’s a
lot on the table.
That’s a good understate-
ment. I’ve clearly been char-
tered by the board to make the
kinds of changes required that
will set up the organization in
a way that the next permanent
CEO has an organization that
can take the kinds of questions
we’ve been discussing to their
logical conclusion.
Are you applying to be the
council’s permanent leader?
I’m not. The board really
wanted an interim who was
dedicated for that period of
time.
What books are you reading?
I recently read Daniel Coyle’s
The Talent Code. He’s an Alaska author. He offers some really interesting data about what
it takes to truly become world-class. The other book I just
finished is The Box, by Marc
Levinson. It’s about how the
shipping container changed the
world. And then Council board
member Akhtar Badshah [who
runs grant making at Micro-soft] just co-wrote a book,
Technology at the Margins: How IT
Meets the Needs of Emerging
Markets.
