Nonprofit culture is not a "soft" component of an organization.
Nonprofit culture is not a “soft” component of an organization; it is the final word, the informer of action or inaction. When it is not given the right amount of attention, a negative culture can lead to doubt and suspicion by enabling laxness, dishonesty and a lack of accountability. In the worst of situations, a bad ethical culture leads to a secrecy and organizational self-deception. A recent article in the Nonprofit Quarterly discusses the closing of the Healing Arts Initiative (HAI), a New York City nonprofit, and how a bad ethical culture led to its demise.
As seen in the June 2016 issue of LeadTime.
