Managing a nonprofit organization has many challenges. One key to success is building a strong relationship between the executive director and the board of trustees. Effective Leadership for Nonprofit Organizations is a treasure trove of information for navigating the personal, political, and legal minefields that cause so many nonprofits to fail. Dozens of case studies illuminate the key issues that often impede nonprofit organizations. Each chapter also contains a set of questions that enable leaders to reflect on the health of their own organization and also evaluate other nonprofits, to create sustainable, effective business practices and productive working relationships. Topics discussed here include:
Communication between managerial parties
Sharing powers and responsibilities
Fund-raising
Financial oversight and boundaries
Planning programs
Hiring and firing
Developing partnerships
Assessing business practices
Building productive working relationships
And much more
Whether you are an executive director, a board member, or someone contemplating either important role, Effective Leadership for Nonprofit Organizations is an excellent resource for understanding the dynamics of nonprofits and creating a strong organization.
