Non-Governmental Leadership and Continuity: Surmounting Challenges and Ensuring Sustained Impact
Abstract
Non-government organisations are essential in tackling various worldwide social, environmental, and humanitarian issues. These mission-based organisations need strong leadership to counteract these challenges: lack of resources, multiple stakeholders, cultural influences, and political or environmental instability. As this paper seeks to demonstrate, leadership in NGO is not inclusive of just a few elements but rather a complex phenomenon that encompasses several other factors, the issues affecting it and the basic processes needed to guarantee the transfer of leadership and long-term effectiveness. Some of the implementation challenges include inadequate funding, stakeholder expectations, cultural issues, and fluctuating operational environments. It is established that succession planning, capacity building, collaborative networks, and adaptive leadership are the main methodologies which must be employed to enhance the organisational capacity and, more importantly, its ability to meet the community's needs and expectations. If NGO leaders stress such elements as flexibility, openness, and planning, they may help their organisations more effectively pursue lasting positive transformations. This paper presents a conceptual model and narration to capture and unpack the multifaceted leadership challenges within the NGO sector, which implies enhanced strategies of sustainability to continue to achieve change.
