ABSTRACT: Most studies define “next-generation” leaders as individuals under the age of 40 who can be held
accountable to lead no-profit organizations in the decades to come. In addition to age, it is determinant
to consider the diversity of future leaders. A successful strategy model developed for use
with no-profit organizations focuses the attention of managers on three key issues: social value to
be created, sources of legitimacy and support for the organization, as well as operational capacity
to deliver the value. These principles can be translated into a relevant and innovative formula as
follows: L (leadership) = D (diversity) * SC (Social Value) where social value reflects the importance
of working with the aim to improve the society we live in.
