The Nonprofit Leadership Team

"The Nonprofit Leadership Team is written for nonprofit executive directors and CEOs, senior staff, board members and nonprofit consultants, it focuses on the key leadership team - the board and its chair and the executive director - and shows how they can work in partnership to lead an effective, healthy organization." "In this book, Fisher Howe, an expert on the topic of nonprofit leadership, covers every aspect of leading an organization as a team. He clearly shows what the board expects of the executive and what the executive expects of the board and the individual members, examines the working relationship among them, and demonstrates how the leadership team deals with specific responsibilities and challenges." "This resource is filled with practical down-to-earth advice for busy board members and nonprofit professionals, including, as a special feature, the common pitfalls experienced by nonprofit organizations. In sum, it shows how the board and the executive director can join forces to create a vision for their organization and attract, motivate, and guide followers to achieve that vision."--Jacket.
