Exploring the Intersection of Nonprofit and Healthcare Management Leadership

Abstract

This literature review aims to explore the intricate intersection of nonprofit and healthcare leadership. The current landscape of healthcare disparities poses a question of what challenges for both nonprofit and healthcare leaders are being perpetuated by a lack of organizational preparedness for diversity. Additionally, it explores how nonprofit leaders can benefit from collaborative teams. This literature review delves into the critical question of how leaders in these sectors can provide effective solutions for systemic inequities. Through the analysis of the current body of existing literature, this chapter emphasizes the often-overlooked gender-diverse community. Using a comprehensive analysis, this chapter outlines strategies for nonprofits and healthcare leaders to serve gender-diverse and marginalized communities better. The proposed solutions emphasize the need for lean management and transformative leadership to address burnout, emotional labor, and low engagement among stakeholders.
