Episode Details

Everything was up and to the right. Hope International had just received an award for innovating in a post-conflict setting. Peter Greer the biggest champion of more.

Then the cracks started to show.

Peter had to stop, own the mistake, and go tell the donors who had believed what he told them.

Peter is one of the most intentional leaders I've interviewed about building a personal network of advisors. He also names something I think every CEO should wrestle with: not whether you and your organization has cracks, but where they are and who can see them.

Peter also shares a family decision that he nearly got wrong, and what it revealed about what most nonprofit leaders are carrying.

Peter Greer is President and CEO of Hope International, an international development organization operating in about 30 countries, with $41 million in revenue in 2024.
