Before I give you the answer to these questions, let's try a little quiz. Are you currently a nonprofit ED, overwhelmed by the idea that you need to be all things to all people? A board chair enthusiastic about leading the board to support the staff? Or someone who aspires to change the world and make the for‐profit to nonprofit leap?

The quiz should put things into perspective and begin to reveal the superpowers you need to be an effective leader within a nonprofit.

So riddle me this, Batmen and Batwomen: It's time to pick your next board chair or executive director; here are the finalists! (I just grabbed a few superhero prototypes — lots of others exist out there.)

 Black Panther

 Spider‐Man

 Elastigirl

 Kermit the Frog

Let's dissect this, shall we? (Oh, apologies to Kermit — not a good word for frogs.)

Each of these four have amazing strengths. Perhaps at first blush, you figure any of them could be a five‐star nonprofit leader.
