The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore strategies to help leader performance in nonprofit organizations. The problem addressed in this study was the need for nonprofit leaders to use tools more effectively where resources and abilities may be limited because of reduced resources.
Central Research Question: What are the lived experiences of nonprofit organization leaders that may be identified as factors that contribute to the successful improvement of leader performance? With the use of semi-structured in-person open-ended questions, 10 nonprofit leaders provided the strategies and competencies needed to be effective. This book shows how real-world nonprofit organizations deal with several of the same issues. From the data collected it is evident that having strategies in place may be necessary to improve a leader's performance. Nonprofit leaders use these strategies already, even though there are not a set of strategies used unilaterally by all leaders.
