Leadership Styles For Success In Collaborative Work

Environmental advocacy organizations work in coalitions or strategic partnerships with other organizations with similar missions for a wide variety of reasons. As with many other nonprofits, collaboration is a key organizational mechanism for advancing their missions. In these tight economic times, foundation funders also consistently call for advocacy nonprofits to think strategically and to cooperate with other nonprofits. Many environmental groups create intra-sector alliances with other environmental groups or cross-sector alliances with non-environmental groups, including government agencies and for-profit entities.
