When nonprofit boards need leadership transitions but fear losing institutional knowledge

Our small nonprofit board has been led by the same person for eight years and she's brilliant but also micromanages everything, and now some of us want to push for shared leadership but others worry it will hurt her feelings or make her leave entirely. The organization needs her institutional knowledge but also needs to evolve, and we can't figure out how to have this conversation without it feeling like a betrayal.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The attachment to individual expertise conflicts with organizational development needs, creating loyalty binds that prevent necessary evolution.
