American Express and the Center for Creative Leadership embarked on research effort to improve the field of nonprofit leadership by focusing
on emerging leaders. Praxis Consulting Group contributed to the research and the writing of this report.
The report emphasized that emerging nonprofit leaders desire to make an impact in the world and value growth and development in their work. Emerging nonprofit leaders expressed more loyalty to a cause than to an organization, and were willing to switch organizations if one was not fulfilling their needs for impact, growth and development.
