Beyond fundraising, emotional intelligence is essential in building effective teams. When hiring, I believe that prioritizing EQ ensures we bring in individuals who will contribute to a positive, empathetic, and resilient workplace. Our approach to hiring goes beyond skills—we look for team members who can foster open communication and collaboration. This not only strengthens our internal culture but also reinforces our mission to help nonprofits build stronger relationships. For those interested in learning more about hiring and fostering strong team connections, Mike Reynolds’ video and our Development Star Assessment provide valuable resources.
