Description
The success of social impact organizations is often reliant on how participants and staff experience the culture of the enterprise. Charter schools achieve better results when their teachers create environments of high expectations that inspire their students to achieve. Even agencies helping people transition out of homelessness achieve higher results when the space and staff foster a culture of client success. Managers need to adapt in order to transfer the critical cultural component into a virtual environment.
Here, senior leaders discuss the strategies they are using to address this challenge. Featuring Adlai Wertman, USC Marshall professor of social entrepreneurship and founding director of Brittingham Social Enterprise Lab; Mark Loranger, president and CEO of Chrysalis Enterprises; and Cristina de Jesus, president and CEO of Green Dot Public Schools California.
