Description

Maurice Mitchell's seminal article "Building Resilient Organizations"—co-published in 2022 by NPQ, The Forge, and Convergence—held up a mirror to the challenging internal management and culture of progressive organizations and offered pointed guidance about what people working at these organizations could do to shift toward resilience and joy. It has been read and referenced by thousands of leaders, consultants, and funders in the three-plus years since. 

In this Learn Out Loud session, NPQ welcomes Maurice Mitchell and a panel of experts to revisit the central themes of the piece, including anti-leadership attitudes; anti-institution sentiment; and unanchored care whereby people assume that one’s mental, physical, and spiritual health are the responsibility of the organization or collective space.
