> I think you should recommend that you should hire people. Even one or two hired people with a bonus incentive will be far more effective. That’s why most successful big “volunteer” organizations have paid employees who give a shit and rally the free volunteers. Their job depends on them making other people motivated to do the job.

Suggesting the OP hire people to "rally the free volunteers" instead of developing the skills to do it themselves certainly shows where the mindset needed for success in the corporate world can run into issues in the resource-constrained broke, small non-profit world.
