Description

Many not-for-profit CEOs either have a structured annual performance review… or none at all. In this episode of The NFP CEO, hosts Michelle and Danielle, both experienced NFP leaders share practical, step-by-step advice on how to navigate your CEO performance review from start to finish.

You’ll learn:

  • Why CEO performance reviews matter for not-for-profit organisations and good governance
  • How to approach your Chair if you’ve never had a formal CEO review process
  • Proven ways to set up KPIs using your position description and strategic plan
  • Structuring your first CEO review so it’s constructive, fair, and aligned with board expectations
  • How to include organisational culture, resilience, and compliance in your performance measures
  • The benefits of 360-degree feedback from staff, stakeholders, and partners
  • Why ongoing CEO–board feedback is critical for leadership success

Whether you’re a new NFP CEO, an aspiring leader, or a board member wanting to improve CEO evaluations, this episode gives you the tools to turn performance reviews into a valuable driver of strategy, alignment, and professional growth.
