Avoiding the Glass Cliff
A short guide for boards hiring a new chief executive of color, written by BoardSource with Building Movement Project. It is set out in three stages: before a transition, during the search and handover, and after the new leader starts. For each stage it says what the board should do so the new leader does not inherit the whole job of advancing racial equity alone, from building an equity-centred culture before the search, to choosing a search firm with a track record of equitable hiring, to orientation, clear first-year goals and ongoing support.

Founder Transitions
A guide for founders, long-serving executive directors and boards facing a founder transition. It explains the particular challenges when a founder or long-term leader steps down and how to plan for both planned and unplanned departures. It argues that supporting founders through the exit protects their legacy and the organisation. Boards and executives use it to prepare the handover, the search and the founder's next role. It is part of the Casey Foundation's executive transition series.
