Building an Organization around People
Maybe we should have built a strategic plan to identify the most important work we should do and then find people to do it. But that’s not us. We have our main strategies. And the constraints that funder interests create. But within those limits, we try to find people who have awesome potential to make the world a better place and who clearly have superpowers that can contribute to faster environmental progress. We try to figure out how to help them do their best work by adapting what we do to match their potential. Our staff and consultants are special, and their contributions are one of a kind.
