Interview: Alexander Sanger and Joan Garry

April 04, 2013

Nonprofit leadership coach Joan Garry interviews grandson of reproductive rights founder, Margaret Sanger and Chair of the International Planned Parenthood Federation. And oh yes, ran PP-NY for nearly a decade.  He knows nonprofits and he knows leadership.



Alex and I had lots to talk about:



  • Can a guy who ran an auto manufacturing company become a successful nonprofit CEO?


  • How in the wild world of sports can you reduce a board of 75 down to 25 and not wreak havoc everywhere you turn?


  • Can a nonprofit organization thrive in spite of a weak board?


  • Why Alex Sanger believes that sabbaticals can be huge mistakes?

 


Alex is a smart, passionate nonprofit leader and philanthropist.  We could have used 18 minutes more.  Enjoy!
