The Jossey-Bass Handbook of Nonprofit Leadership and Management (Jossey Bass Nonprofit & Public Management Series)

By Robert D. Herman & Associates

Book Overview

I expect the Jossey-Bass Handbook will be a basic reference and source of numerous ideas and guidance for practicing managers, leaders, students, and teachers in this field for years to come. It belongs on the bookshelf of every leader and manager of a nonprofit organization ?Dennis R. Young, Mandel Professor of Nonprofit Management, and governing director, Mandel Center for Nonprofit Organizations, Case Western Reserve University Herman and his associates have created a book that organizes a complex topic in a sensible and accessible way. Nationally recognized experts expand the reader's perception well beyond narrow managerial issues, but the managerial meat is here, too. Whether for reference or teaching purposes, a better set of topics and authors on nonprofit leadership and management is difficult to imagine. ?Bradford H. Gray, executive director, Program on Non-Profit Organizations (PONPO), Yale University The leading experts in the nonprofit field describe effective practices in all the distinctive and important functions, processes, and strategies of nonprofit leadership and management. Based on up-to-date research, theory, and experience, this comprehensive volume offers practical advice on every aspect of managing nonprofit organizations, including board development, strategic planning, lobbying, marketing, government contracting, volunteer programs, fund raising, financial accounting, compensation and benefits programs, risk management, and much more.

Good reference book covering all of the basics for non-profit leadership and management.

An excellent "tool book" for any nonprofit leader

Bought the book for a class. Initially thought it was going to be long and dry because it's so big. But, was pleasantly surprised. The book is full of useful and user-friendly information. This one is staying on my shelf.
