In the association sector, leaders encounter a myriad of challenges that can significantly impact their effectiveness. From navigating the complexities of board changes and the instability that often accompanies them, to ensuring the right team dynamic for increased productivity and well-being, the role of a leader is multifaceted. This whitepaper aims to give you some insights on what makes a great leader in the association sector. We hope you will find valuable advice for your own organisation.
This white paper was written based on the knowledge shared during the Geneva Association Days 2025 by Paolo Gallo, and Dr. Cary Adams, along with insights gathered from the participants.
