The Invisible Balance Sheet in Nonprofit Governance
In this episode of the Iacocca Executive Leadership Dialogue series, we welcome Roland Kushner, Associate Professor of Business at Muhlenberg College, for a thought-provoking session on "The Invisible Balance Sheet." What are the assets and liabilities that don't show up on traditional financial statements but make or break an organization's success? Professor Kushner dives into the unseen drivers of organizational health — from leadership capital and institutional trust to social goodwill and cultural strength. Through a systems thinking lens, he challenges leaders to broaden their strategic vision beyond numbers, and to recognize the hidden dynamics shaping sustainable growth and resilience.
