This book is an essential tool to help you grow with your
nonprofit organization. Whether you are an executive director,
manager, board member, pastor, or key volunteer,
the details here will help you achieve so much more.
The four overarching areas of what the authors term a
“virtuous cycle in nonprofit organization success”—living
the mission, making good decisions, getting things done,
developing your team—emerged from literature searches,
focus groups, and surveys to discover objectively what
critical skills and knowledge are most useful to leaders of
nonprofit organizations.
Inside, experts contribute individual chapters in each of
these four areas. This book can be used as a reference for
specific skills and knowledge in any of these areas. It can
also be used as a text since it covers 16 specific chapters
within the four major sections and each chapter has a major
case study, assessment questions, and summaries of
key concepts.
