"Nonprofit organizations need smart, informed managers. This introductory textbook
aims to expose students to the range of responsibilities expected from modern nonprofit
organizations, their boards, their executive management, their frontline staff, and
their community volunteers. Featuring an extended case study, the book is aimed at
students and professionals. Section 1 focuses on the characteristics of a nonprofit
organization, with an explanation of the specific attributes of both charitable and
member-serving nonprofits. It consider the historical development of the nonprofit
sector as a whole and of the human services subsector in particular. The section culminates
with a review of the political and economic climate in which nonprofits operate. Section
2 considers general theories of leadership. The multiple roles of the nonprofit professional
leader are delineated, to recognize that the same person may serve as manager and
administrator, motivated by different priorities when functioning in each capacity.
Ethical issues are also considered, along with the theoretical and practical aspects
of decision-making, and the relationship between organizational culture and organizational
change. Sections 3 and 4 address the specific skills of the nonprofit leader involved
in securing material resources and managing human resources, respectively. In section
3, strategic planning, program planning and evaluation, resource generation, organizational
performance indicators, and technology and communication are the areas of emphasis.
Section 4 includes chapters dealing with leadership to create and protect a culture
of integrity, human resource management, and the practical aspects of board governance.
The book concludes with a focus on the role of volunteers and the need for organizations
to provide them good experiences if they want volunteers to keep coming back."
