Show Notes

Brent A. Hafele, M.A., is Senior Vice President of Talent Development at Dickerson Bakker & Associates. Early in his career, Brent held various leadership roles inside nonprofit organizations, including Development Director and Executive Director. 

Today, Brent leads talent development efforts for Dickerson Bakker & Associates, and provides executive coaching to fundraisers and nonprofit CEO's and Executive Directors.

Brent and I sat down to discuss how talent development impacts organizational success. In our conversation we hit some big topics, including:

  1. How does talent impact an organization's capacity for growth? 
  2. Breaking the myth that your nonprofit can't afford to hire top quality talent.
  3. What it takes to effectively assess a candidate's abilities and qualities during the interview process.
  4. Effective tools for candidate assessments.
  5. Why you should hire more slowly, and what the benefits of a longer assessment period is to your nonprofit.
  6. The value of using a strengths-based framework for talent assessment and coaching in your organization.
  7. Building a collaborative culture across your team and organization. 
  8. Giving realistic performance feedback to motivate and engage your staff.

If you lead a team or an organization, this conversation is sure to provide you with value!
