Opis

This volume focuses on a survey of contemporary thinking about creating effective nonprofit organizations. Based on interviews with 250 leading thinkers from the worlds of philanthropy, scholarship and consulting, as well as 250 executive directors of some of the nation's most effective nonprofits, the book argues that there is no one best way to higher performance. Although higher performance clearly requires a commitment to excellence, it can be achieved along more than one pathway using one of several different strategies. It shows that every nonprofit organization can improve - no matter how well or poorly it is currently performing - often by taking simple first steps up a development spiral to higher performance.
