The Multisector Career Arc: The Importance of Cross-Sector Affiliations
研究了公共、私营和非营利三个部门的现任领导者通过全职工作或兼职服务获得跨部门经验的程度，发现近半数领导者有跨部门经历，约15%有四次以上，这种经历对个人和组织都有益。
This article examines the extent to which current leaders from each of the three sectors (public, private, and nonprofit) have had meaningful cross-sector experience either through full-time employment or through service on boards/commissions or other forms of affiliation. Almost half of all leaders profiled had at least one multisector affiliation and about 15% had four or more. It also explores the costs and benefits of such experiences to them and their organization. Almost every leader interviewed described a logical, but serendipitous path that created a unique, unforeseeable, and often very rewarding set of opportunities and experiences. Their profiles also suggest the emergence of a new career path in which leaders garner developmentally rich, career-accelerating experiences, often in parallel, by virtue of part-time cross-sector affiliations in addition to traditional employment.
