Greetings, readers! This week’s Leadership newsletter is a grab-bag. First, news that Microsoft announced the sudden end of a long-standing grant program that gave some 400,000 nonprofits free access to its software products. (If your organization is a recipient, you’ll want to get on this, pronto!) Then, Jennifer Johnson explores how we can center local leadership in global nonprofit partnerships. Next, we invite you to read the second installment of our Liberatory Leadership series by Iman Mills Gordon and Ericka Stallings, which focuses on how leaders can “fight the monsters without becoming monstrous.” Finally, we invite you to our upcoming Premium webinar, “From Performance Management to Mutual Commitment: Fostering a Culture of Joyful Accountability.” This webinar is designed for nonprofit leaders and managers who are ready to move beyond top-down, corporate approaches to performance management—and foster accountability that inspires commitment, creativity, and collaboration. Join us on Thursday, June 26, from 2:00 to 3:30 pm ET. And take advantage of early bird registration until June 20.

As always, we thank you for reading and welcome your feedback, pitches and thoughts.
