New COF Report on Leadership

Listen up, future leaders.  We've got a must-read for you about a topic none other than philanthropic leadership.  The Council on Foundations recently released their Career Pathways to Philanthropic Leadership 2009 Baseline Report, which examines the characteristics of foundation and grantmaking executives appointed during a five-year period (2004-2008).  The report looks at how the philanthropic sector chooses its leaders and what leaders themselves say about the process.  The report is part of the Council's broader initiative, Career Pathways to Philanthropic Leadership, which focuses on inclusive practices in philanthropic leadership, talent acquisition, and management.
