Welcome to the CNVC Leadership Team (LT) section of NVCwiki. The goal of this area is to enable CNVC LT & Board members and others they might select, to edit official documents. It is our hope that two needs may be met in this way. First, the CNVC LT will be able to collaborate on the creation of official documents by using this wiki interface. Second, anyone interested in better understanding CNVC decisions will be able to watch the documents evolve and add their own comments and suggestions in the Public Comment areas.

==John's Report on "E.D." Role Analysis==
+
1.   Jori Manske is no longer filling the position of Interim Executive Director. We are deeply grateful for how she has supported our organization. She will now be able to put her efforts in her position of Coordinator of the GCC.<br>
−
Major issues I believe are associated with the "E.D." '''(new title needed)''' position:
+
2.   Administrative work previously done within the position of Interim Executive Director will presently be coordinated by our new Office Manager, Margo Pair, supported by the Board and Leadership Team.
−
*M&V have many good connections in the network due to their travel and contacts.
 
−
*Those connections are irregular due to M&V's schedule and other interests.
 
−
*For them to function as Leaders, their connections with CNVC and LT are key.
 
−
*They need clarity, information, understanding, and peace of heart & mind.
 
−
*They need their policies and strategies to be implemented by CNVC and the network.
 
−
*They need concise, timely and effective '''feedback''' from CNVC and the network.
 
−
*Sustainability of their role is crucial, with time for rest and creativity.
 
  
−
My conclusion:
+
Warmly,<br>
−
An unidentified core role for the E.D. is facilitating a feedback loop between M&V and CNVC/LT.  One label for this role might be "Chief of Staff" as portrayed in popular views of the U.S. President's "E.D."  That person speaks on behalf of the leader, and conveys information from the organization to the leader.  Here is a short list of activites I imagine could be listed under such a role, excerpted from my notes in the References section of this email.
+
Board Members and Leadership Team<br>
−
*Liaison between MBR/Valentina and LT/staff.
+
John Wiley (Board President), Stefan Wisbauer (Board Vice-President & Secretary), Katherine Singer (Treasurer emeritis), Marshall Rosenberg (Board Member & Leadership Team Functional Leader), Valentina Rosenberg (Board Member & Leadership team Functional Leader), Robert Gonzales (Board Member), Jori Manske (Board Member & Leadership Team - GCC), Jim Manske (Leadership Team - GCC), Anne Wiley (Leadership Team - Synergy), William Poehner (Leadership Team - IT), Danielle Beenders (Leadership Team - Office Representative)
−
:* Work closely with Office and each functional role on LT.
 
−
::*  Attend all Office meetings related to policy, and facilitate LT meetings.
 
−
::*  Gather information on implementation of M&V/LT policy/strategy.
 
−
::*  Collect feedback, requests and information from Office/LT/network.
 
−
:* Create weekly briefings for M&V/LT, summarizing this with references for details.
 
−
:* Review strategic plans, financials and other information for reports to M&V & LT.
 
−
:* Draft policies on resource allocation in consultation w/M&V and LT.
 
  
−
My impression now is that some understood that we agreed at the Conference NOT to have an E.D. playing such a "Chief of Staff" role, because we'd instead have weekly meetings of the LT which includes M&V.  We'd do all this collaboratively, with LT functional roles (Media, Network co-Coordinators, E.D./Office, Certification, Synergy, Fundraising, Projects, etc.) operating in mutuality and harmony.  Given M&V's schedule and the lack of any planning for such meetings since the Conference, I'm wondering if implicit in that was a notion that those functional roles would be operating autonomously with occasional M&V contact.
+
==Leadership Team Extended Forum Meeting Mon Aug 18, 2008 - Open to Observers==
  
−
I predict that autonomous functioning of LT personnel will lead to confusion and ultimately conflict with M&V.  Without frequent contact and proactive maintenance of clarity, M&V's leadership will not be clearly understood or implemented as they intend and LT/network feelings and needs will not be clear to M&V.  I'm doubtful that we all agree on the importance of or strategies for frequent and effective communication between M&V and the organization, and I'm confident that their ability to sustainably provide leadership depends upon it.
+
You are welcome as an observer to the upcoming Leadership Team Extended

My wife, Valentina, and I would like to share our celebrations with you stimulated by the October CNVC Conference. We celebrated that CNVC now has NVC groups working in 65 countries on every continent and about 1/4 million people per year are receiving our training.  We then shared our vision that within the next 10 years we would like to have NVC teams in every country and NVC reaching millions of people through mainstream media outlets.

We want to share with you how touched and celebratory we are feeling at the response of everyone present to this vision.  To achieve these two visions we are radically transforming our organization.

Previously the LT cited the following reasons motivating the exploration of a move to Albuquerque (ABQ).  I  have commented briefly on what I have learned in the last 30 days, then added some considerations below.

[[August 2006 GCC Meeting Minutes]]
+
**There is ample capacity within ABQ to accomodate our needs.
 +
* People active in CNVC administration are living in Albuquerque.
 +
**Currently the list includes Marshall, Valentina, Jim and Jori.  Danielle and William intend to move to ABQ.  We have identified two strong candidates with nonprofit management experience for Office Manager living in Albuquerque. (45 Applicants applied.) Miguel and Dee continue to consider moving to ABQ, although at present they are not intending to move there.  Christina and Sol intend to stay in California.  I am not clear on Jenna's intentions in the moment.
 +
* Cost effective operations.
 +
**In May 2006, Forbes magazine ranked ABQ #1 in a list of "Best Places for Businesses and Careers".  For the cost of doing business, ABQ ranked 1st among about 200 of the USA's largest metropolotan areas.
 +
http://www.forbes.com/2006/05/03/06bestplaces_best-places-for-business_land.html
 +
**It is likely  that CNVC's operational expenses will be reduced in ABQ.  The location we will be occupying initially will likely be significantly less expensive than the office and storage facilities in La Crescenta.
 +
* Reduced cost of living for office staff.

* Friendlier regulatory environment for non-profit operation.
 +
* Easy access to international airport.
 +
**The ABQ "Sunport" is 15 minutes or less from virtually any part of ABQ.  It is serviced by major carriers including Southwest, Northwest, Delta, and USAirway/AmericaWest
 +
* Growing local NVC community that is receptive to hosting the CNVC office.
 +
**There are currently about 900-1000 people on the NM-NVC mail list.  NVC has a presence in local schools, government agencies, jails, mediation community, several businesses, the therapeutic community, the spiritual community etc.
 +
**Two of the candidates for the recent office manager position emerged from the NVC community.  Another was connected to the Nonviolent Peaceforce community which has been an ally of NVC for many years.
 +
* Volunteer community available.
 +
**We have already received several offers of volunteer service.

=Minutes July 2006 Board Meeting=
+
*Financial Cost of Move. 
−
[[July 2006 Board Meeting Minutes]]
+
**We won't know til we get there, but I would estimate this to be at least $20,000 and could be as high as $50,000. We have not yet received requests from employees who are not going to ABQ, and we do not have accurate estimates of the costs associated with moving the employees who are going.  Moving estimates for some office equipment, files, records, etc are approximately $14000.  One bidder may be able to save us 25%, but he will not give us the bid until next week.  Replacement cost of unmoved items (if we decide to leave office equipment behind) is likely to be at least several thousand dollars, and there is still some stuff (eg files, inventory, records, telephone system, computers, etc that still will be moved at some cost.)
 +
*Timing.
 +
**We have two strong candidates for the office manager position who will be ready to go to work with 2 weeks notice to their current employers.
 +
**Preparation work has begun in the LA office, and we have a long way to go!
 +
**Minor problem with internet/telephone infrastructure.  (Not a show stopper, according to William)
 +
**Interruption of service to our community, especially book and material orders. 
 +
**We need to strategize on how to inform previous customers of our new location, and implement ASAP.
 +
*Focus on moving distracts from other important projects, eg IT and GCC

=Board Agenda - June 2006 Meeting=

I would recommend that the LT make a commitment to moving to Albuquerque as soon as possible with a target date of May 7.  The clarity of that decision will help to focus the staff on contributing the resources necessary to accomplish the move with as much ease and grace as possible.  It will also contribute to the staff members so that they can plan their next moves.  It will also contribute to creating stability as we will be enabled to commit to hiring a new office manager.

Latest revision as of 00:31, 15 August 2008

Welcome to the CNVC Leadership Team (LT) section of NVCwiki. The goal of this area is to enable CNVC LT members and others they might select, to edit official documents. It is our hope that two needs may be met in this way. First, the CNVC LT will be able to collaborate on the creation of official documents by using this wiki interface. Second, anyone interested in better understanding CNVC decisions will be able to watch the documents evolve and add their own comments and suggestions in the Public Comment areas. CNVC Board and LT sections of this wiki until recently were combined due to extensive overlap, but are now maintained separately.

Note: This section is now distinct from the CNVC Board and CNVC GCC sections.
Tip: Click on "Recent changes" in the left column, or "history" above, to quickly see what's new or modified.

30 March 2007 Report on Move

From Jim Manske

Previously the LT cited the following reasons motivating the exploration of a move to Albuquerque (ABQ). I have commented briefly on what I have learned in the last 30 days, then added some considerations below.

  • Planned future programs, IITs and other training in Albuquerque.
    • There is ample capacity within ABQ to accomodate our needs.
  • People active in CNVC administration are living in Albuquerque.
    • Currently the list includes Marshall, Valentina, Jim and Jori. Danielle and William intend to move to ABQ. We have identified two strong candidates with nonprofit management experience for Office Manager living in Albuquerque. (45 Applicants applied.) Miguel and Dee continue to consider moving to ABQ, although at present they are not intending to move there. Christina and Sol intend to stay in California. I am not clear on Jenna's intentions in the moment.
  • Cost effective operations.
    • In May 2006, Forbes magazine ranked ABQ #1 in a list of "Best Places for Businesses and Careers". For the cost of doing business, ABQ ranked 1st among about 200 of the USA's largest metropolotan areas.

    • It is likely that CNVC's operational expenses will be reduced in ABQ. The location we will be occupying initially will likely be significantly less expensive than the office and storage facilities in La Crescenta.
  • Reduced cost of living for office staff.
                                Composite index Groceries	Housing	 Utilities    Transportation  Health care	Misc. goods/services
                Albuquerque, N.M.	103.3	   100.2	107.9	    122.3	    100.0	96.8	         96.8
                Los Angeles, Calif.	153.1	   120.2	245.4	    121.3	    116.5	114.2	         111.7

  • Friendlier regulatory environment for non-profit operation.
  • Easy access to international airport.
    • The ABQ "Sunport" is 15 minutes or less from virtually any part of ABQ. It is serviced by major carriers including Southwest, Northwest, Delta, and USAirway/AmericaWest
  • Growing local NVC community that is receptive to hosting the CNVC office.
    • There are currently about 900-1000 people on the NM-NVC mail list. NVC has a presence in local schools, government agencies, jails, mediation community, several businesses, the therapeutic community, the spiritual community etc.
    • Two of the candidates for the recent office manager position emerged from the NVC community. Another was connected to the Nonviolent Peaceforce community which has been an ally of NVC for many years.
  • Volunteer community available.
    • We have already received several offers of volunteer service.

Remaining Considerations:

  • Financial Cost of Move.
    • We won't know til we get there, but I would estimate this to be at least $20,000 and could be as high as $50,000. We have not yet received requests from employees who are not going to ABQ, and we do not have accurate estimates of the costs associated with moving the employees who are going. Moving estimates for some office equipment, files, records, etc are approximately $14000. One bidder may be able to save us 25%, but he will not give us the bid until next week. Replacement cost of unmoved items (if we decide to leave office equipment behind) is likely to be at least several thousand dollars, and there is still some stuff (eg files, inventory, records, telephone system, computers, etc that still will be moved at some cost.)
  • Timing.
    • We have two strong candidates for the office manager position who will be ready to go to work with 2 weeks notice to their current employers.
    • Preparation work has begun in the LA office, and we have a long way to go!
    • Minor problem with internet/telephone infrastructure. (Not a show stopper, according to William)
    • Interruption of service to our community, especially book and material orders.
    • We need to strategize on how to inform previous customers of our new location, and implement ASAP.
  • Focus on moving distracts from other important projects, eg IT and GCC

Conclusions

I would recommend that the LT make a commitment to moving to Albuquerque as soon as possible with a target date of May 7. The clarity of that decision will help to focus the staff on contributing the resources necessary to accomplish the move with as much ease and grace as possible. It will also contribute to the staff members so that they can plan their next moves. It will also contribute to creating stability as we will be enabled to commit to hiring a new office manager.
