Creative Disruption: Sabbaticals in the Nonprofit Sector
A new study exposes the myth that an executive sabbatical will be a chaotic disruption, finding instead that the creative disruption of a well-planned sabbatical can be productive for the entire leadership of an organization. The sabbatical winners extend their tenures and second-tier leadership is strengthened. The report recommends funding sabbaticals as a best practice in philanthropy.
