About Drew Hood

After working with dozens of purpose-driven organizations, I\'ve noticed that leadership teams often face similar challenges, regardless of their size or sector. Here are the four questions I hear most often, along with the specific ways these challenges show up:\"?\"• We\'re saying \"yes\" to too many opportunities despite limited resources• We have a tangle of competing priorities without clear decision frameworks• We let short-term pressures distract us from our long-term strategy:\"?\"• We\'re working harder, but still seeing funding drop• We depend on a small number of major funders• We need more unrestricted funding for core operations:\"?\"• Our systems and processes are inefficient, making growth impossible• We struggle to measure and manage performance• Our executive leaders are pulled into operations at the expense of strategy:\"?\"• Our accountability frameworks are unclear or nonexistent• We struggle to attract and retain top talent• Our core values are not relevant and alive in the organizationIf any of these challenges sound familiar, I\'d love to connect.
