This pilot project will test a leadership development training model for emerging leaders in environmental organizations that uses a combination of peer learning, coaching, and mentoring. The approach tests a hypothesis that emerging leaders need to have exciting, new assignments as well as the professional development and mentoring they need to succeed. Nonprofits need to create opportunities that embrace talent mobility, special assignments, and job rotation opportunities. This can be thought of as a switch from the traditional career ladder to a career “lattice.”
