Steward Leadership in the Nonprofit Organization (Paperback): Kent R Wilson Steward Leadership in the Nonprofit Organization (Paperback)
Kent R Wilson
R650 R583 Discovery Miles 5 830 Save R67 (10%) Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Most approaches to nonprofit organizational leadership are borrowed from the for-profit sector. But these models are often inadequate to address the issues nonprofit leaders face. We need a new framework for nonprofit management that is rooted in historical precedent and biblical principles yet is also appropriate for the nonprofit context. Nonprofit consultant and researcher Kent Wilson presents a comprehensive model for steward leadership, in which leaders act as stewards or trustees, never as owners. Scripture and history give concrete examples of stewards who manage resources on behalf of others for the good of others. Wilson applies this classical understanding of the steward to modern organizational management, defining and developing steward leadership as an alternative to its cousin, servant leadership. Steward leadership offers great hope for the transformation and effectiveness of nonprofit leadership for stakeholders, board members, executive directors and staff members. Designed by a nonprofit leader for nonprofit leaders, this fresh approach to leadership gives you a new focus to lead your organization with excellence.

Called to Serve is for people with questions about creating and maintaining a successful nonprofit board. How can the board of a nonprofit organization work best? Now that I'm on such a board, what should I do? How can we find the best trustees? How should I think about my work for nonprofits? What kind of relationship between a board and the staff will work best? How can we organize and develop the service of busy, committed people? Internationally renowned CEO and best-selling author Max De Pree packs his many years of experience on nonprofit boards into these short letters directed to busy folks active in nonprofit life. Brief, clear, and -- above all -- useful, Called to Serve notes the marks of an effective board, lays out the proper work of boards, gives choices for structuring a nonprofit board, and covers the roles and relationships of board chairpersons, trustees, and presidents. Today there are more than 1.5 million nonprofit organizations in America, with 109 million people working in this important sector of society. In spite of this surprising fact, very little training exists for this kind of service. Called to Serve is valuable not only because it fills this need but also because it comes from the pen of one of America's most experienced and respected business leaders.

Nonprofit Governance: Law, Practices & Trends (Hardcover): B.R. Hopkins Nonprofit Governance: Law, Practices & Trends (Hardcover)
B.R. Hopkins
R2,364 Discovery Miles 23 640 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

A complete analysis of the law, practices, and trends of nonprofit governance from two of the nation's leading lawyers on the law of tax-exempt organizations

Recent scandals in the charitable sector as well as the adoption of a myriad of nonprofit best practices and guidelines have created a need and demand for better governance of nonprofits. In Nonprofit Governance, renowned author Bruce R. Hopkins and his law partner, Virginia Gross, share their combined decades of legal expertise to provide a comprehensive, authoritative examination of the law, practices, and trends of nonprofit governance.

In this comprehensive, one-stop resource, Hopkins and Gross deftly summarize the law that exists and explain and evaluate the many good governance principles that have been promulgated. "Nonprofit Governance" helps leaders and managers of nonprofit organizations, and their lawyers, accountants, and advisors, to: Understand the legal backdrop for nonprofit governanceSift through the numerous good governance principles and guidelinesSelect the ones that most appropriately apply to their particular organizationDevise suitable policies and proceduresImprove their operations and effectivenessUndertake a comprehensive governance legal auditBe in a position to file Forms 990 that cast them in the best possible light regarding nonprofit governance

"Nonprofit Governance" is a must-read for anyone facing good governance decisions in a nonprofit organization and is lost in the maze of conflicting principles, ever-increasing policies and procedures, murky law, and the intensity of the IRS in insisting on adoption of various principles in the absence of legal requirements for them.

R2,969 Discovery Miles 29 690 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

What would development look like if its practitioners and scholars were 'against NGOs,' challenging common sense about them? This book presents a critical perspective on NGOs, describing how they emerged as key agents of development over time. Through an interpretative history based on Gramscian concepts it shows how civil society organizations were gradually enlisted in development as non-state technocratic actors. The book argues that management studies and development studies emerged as commonsensical explanations for capitalist crises. Each offered complementary solutions to balance the needs of capital and society, in particular historical circumstances. These solutions also situated civil society as agents of development and vectors of management. Against NGOs fills a gap within the literature of management and development studies through its original discussion of their historical interconnections and shared themes. The book raises provocative questions on what forms of knowledge-politics can respond productively to the crises of our contemporary moment.

Strategies for long-term social impact

This important new book illustrates how to create the social breakthroughs needed to solve urgent global threats such as poverty, disease, and hunger. It then turns to three alternative, but complementary, paths to social breakthrough: social protecting, social exploring, and social advocacy, providing a detailed map of the journey from initial commitment to a world of justice and opportunityExamines the current condition of the social impact infrastructureOffers strategies for how to remedy the steady weakening of our social-impact infrastructureProvides tactics to build strong social organizations and networksIllustrates dynamic methods to respond to constant economic and social change

Author Paul Light believes we should be less concerned about the tools of agitation (social entrepreneurship, social protecting, social exploring, and social advocacy) and more concerned about the disruption and replacement of the status quo. Timely in its urgency, this book describes the revolutionary social impact cycle, which provides a new approach for framing the debate about urgent threats.

The nonprofit sector has seen more diversity and change in the past 25 years than ever before, while there has also been an explosion of interest from across sectors in finding new solutions to social problems. We are in the midst of an entrepreneurial moment, as doers and makers have unprecedented access to crowdfunding and it has never been easier or cheaper to start a business or a foundation. And yet, often overlooked among these shiny new objects the flood of start-ups that spring up daily is the untapped potential of new ideas that can emerge from inside already established agencies, companies, and nonprofits. To build the capacity for innovation requires attention to building organizations and individuals who are ready and have the right tools to develop, implement, and sustain innovations. Innovation from Within provides a framework specific for nonprofits through the Nonprofit Innovation Model (IN Model). The IN Model guides leaders in developing and implementing innovation from within their own nonprofit organization. The time has come to get more people into the business of solving problems in extraordinary ways and to amplify the impact of the field of social innovation by bringing along the people who provide the bulk of services and impact. This book is the guide and a call to action for building that momentum. Innovation from Within is divided into two distinct parts to provide readers with an opportunity to think about the context of and concepts around social innovation before getting into the work. Part 1 is about redefining social innovation for the nonprofit context and Part 2 is about action. This book is meant to outline the social innovation environment and set the stage for innovation work within existing nonprofit agencies.

2016 IVP Readers' Choice Award Many people have given up on the church. But that doesn't mean that they've given up on God or Christianity. In many cases, it was merely that local church congregations were not the best context for missional people to live out their sense of God's call. The good news is that God is raising up vibrant movements of Christians in a vast array of vocations around the world: disciple-making ministries, missions, relief and development, social activism, advocacy and much more. These are all strategic ways to live for the kingdom-in venues beyond the local church. Wherever movements of the gospel have occurred, visionary people and apostolic structures have been essential. Mission leader Sam Metcalf shows how God has always worked through entrepreneurial individuals and organizations that launched out in fresh ways. He gives biblical and missiological foundations for missional movements, showing that what has often been called "parachurch" is an equally valid manifestation of the church. Affirming the strengths of apostolic personalities, Metcalf shows how they can be deployed to cross cultural barriers, renew secular societies and transform the nations with the power of the gospel. God may be inviting you to join what he is doing around the world. Answer the call and discover how God can use you beyond your imagination.

Angesichts globaler Finanzprobleme und angespannter Staatshaushalte ist die Fahigkeit privater Philanthropie, zur Loesung oeffentlicher Probleme beizutragen - und auch lebenswichtige private Einrichtungen zu unterstutzen -, vielleicht noch nie so wichtig gewesen wie heute. Doch wie koennen Philanthropen und Spender sicher sein, dass ihre Beitrage auch eine Wirkung erzielen? Und wie koennen sie sicherstellen, dass ihr Engagement ihren eigenen Bedurfnissen entspricht und einen gesellschaftlichen Mehrwert bietet? Dieses Buch - aus dem Amerikanischen ubersetzt und adaptiert von Georg von Schnurbein - bietet allen in der Philanthropie involvierten Akteuren, von Philanthropen uber Fundraiser bis hin zu Non-Profit-Managern, einen praktischen und kompakten Leitfaden zur wirkungsorientierten Umsetzung. Es werden funf Herausforderungen definiert, die zu berucksichtigen sind, wenn ein Engagement mehr als eine fluchtige Spende sein soll. Dazu gehoeren das Klaren des zeitlichen Umfangs eines Engagements, die Formulierung der erwunschten Wirkung und die UEbereinstimmung der Spende mit der Identitat und dem persoenlichen Stil des Gebenden. Die Berucksichtigung dieser grundsatzlichen, strategischen Aspekte des Gebens erlaubt es Philanthropen, ihre Ziele effektiver zu erreichen und gleichzeitig eine dauerhafte Beziehung zu den unterstutzten Institutionen und Destinataren aufzubauen. Gerade fur die nachste Generation von Philanthropen, die vor der Herausforderung steht, das, was Andrew Carnegie als "uberschussigen Reichtum" bezeichnete, effektiv zu verteilen, ist dieser Wegweiser eine unverzichtbare Hilfe mit praktischen Fallbeispielen, Empfehlungen und Methoden.

Werfen Sie einen detaillierten Blick in die Praxis von CSR ausgewahlter Institutionen aus den Bereichen Wirtschaft, Politik, Forschung und Zivilgesellschaft Dieses Buch zeigt, welche Rolle Corporate Social Responsibility aus Sicht dieser Akteure spielt. Neben der Beantwortung der Frage nach der eigenen Auseinandersetzung innerhalb der Institution, wird insbesondere verdeutlicht, welche Ansatze zur gesamtgesellschaftlichen Diskussion rund um CSR verfolgt werden. Es wird praxisnah die konzeptionelle, strategische Auseinandersetzung mit Unternehmensverantwortung dargestellt und zugleich vergegenwartigt, mit welchen konkreten Massnahmen und Ansatzpunkten - zum Beispiel mit dem Fokus Interessenvertretung oder Dienstleistungen - bei den relevanten Zielgruppen - Unternehmen, Mitgliedern oder interessierter OEffentlichkeit - fur die Wahrnehmung von CSR geworben und fur dessen Relevanz sensibilisiert wird. Hier gelingt ein erster Versuch den Nexus zwischen der gesellschaftlichen Verantwortung von Unternehmen, den institutionellen Strukturen sowie den globalen Rahmenbedingungen aufzuzeigen In Anbetracht der zahlreichen Wechselwirkungen zwischen Unternehmen und ihren jeweiligen Standorten, erscheint es nur logisch und konsequent, die Potenziale, Motive, Strategien und Projekte von Unternehmen als "Partner der Gesellschaft" in Rahmen der Weiterentwicklung gesellschaftlicher Institutionen zu sehen. Denn gesellschaftliche Institutionen koennen in Sachen Nachhaltigkeit nur so gut sein, wie es die Unternehmen sind. Und umgekehrt gilt, dass Unternehmen nur dann nachhaltige Geschaftsmodelle erfolgreich umsetzen koennen, wenn die dazu notwendigen institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen vorhanden sind. Die vorliegende Publikation verdeutlicht, dass neue Kooperationen zwischen Wirtschaft, Politik und Zivilgesellschaft zur Foerderung Nachhaltigen Unternehmertum die deutsche Institutionenlandschaft konstruktiv verandern wird. Das Buch stellt damit die dringend benoetigte Brucke zwischen dem Forschungs- und Handlungsfeldern der gesellschaftlichen, politischen und wirtschaftlichen CSR-Diskussion da.

Erfahren Sie in diesem Buch wie strategische Nachfolgeplanung erfolgreich umgesetzt werden kann! Wer folgt? Dies ist eine der wichtigsten Fragen derzeit in Non-Profit-Organisationen. Die Unternehmen stecken auf der Fuhrungsetage bereits mitten im Generationswechsel oder er steht ihnen konkret bevor. Loesungen fur eine gelungene Umsetzung sind bisher kaum bekannt. Die richtige Nachfolgeentscheidung fur die Leitung eines Unternehmens ist ausschlaggebend fur den zukunftigen Erfolg oder Misserfolg am Markt. Besonders im sozialen Bereich ist die Nachfolge mit einem kompletten Generationswechsel verbunden, auf den die meisten gemeinnutzigen Organisationen nicht oder nur sparlich vorbereitet sind. Wie gelingt der Generationswechsel und die Nachfolgeplanung in gemeinnutzigen Organisationen tatsachlich? Was sind die Erfolgsfaktoren, was die Stolpersteine? Dieses Buch beleuchtet die organisationsinternen und -externen Rahmenbedingungen fur den hauptamtlichen Bereich und vermittelt mittel- sowie langfristige Handlungsempfehlungen. Mit anderen Worten: Es geht um strategische Nachfolgeplanung. Finden Sie hier die wichtigsten Punkte zum Inhalt! Dieses Buch widmet sich im ersten Teil den relevanten Grundlagen und Rahmenbedingungen - organisationsintern und -extern. Aus der Perspektive der Organisationsstruktur werden die rechtlichen Aspekte, die beim UEbergang fur gemeinnutzige Trager Bedeutung erlangen, beleuchtet. Doch nicht nur der juristische Rahmen wird von der Nachfolgeplanung erfasst. Werte, Normen und die Unternehmenskultur spielen eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Neu-Besetzung und gegebenenfalls der Neu-Ausrichtung der Organisation. Die Personalentwicklung mit ihren Besonderheiten der Sozialwirtschaft beeinflusst, ob die neue Spitze intern oder extern gesucht wird. Strategische Vorteile haben die Organisationen, die bereits ihr Arbeitgeber-Profil gescharft haben. Denn auch der Mangel an geeigneten und passenden Fuhrungskraften wirkt auf den Prozess der Nachfolgeplanung ein und verdient daher, genauer betrachtet zu werden. Daruber hinaus werden die Vergutungsstrukturen sowie die Qualifizierungs- und Vernetzungsmoeglichkeiten fur Entscheiderinnen und Entscheider betrachtet, um den Rahmen fur die Suche zu skizzieren. Abschliessend blicken wir auf die Finanzierungsstrukturen der Sozialwirtschaft. Im zweiten Teil geht es an die Umsetzung der Nachfolgeplanung und im dritten Teil folgt der Blick in die Praxis. Die Zielgruppen So vielschichtig wie das Thema Nachfolgeplanung ist, so verschieden sind auch die Akteure, die in der Praxis damit betraut sind. Die oftmals ehrenamtlichen Mitglieder in den Aufsichtsorganen, die fur den Nachfolgeprozess verantwortlich sind und womoeglich bis dato noch keine Erfahrung damit gesammelt haben; Leitungskrafte, die bald in den wohlverdienten Ruhestand gehen und deren Stelle neu zu besetzen ist und die nicht selten in den Nachfolgeprozess umfassend involviert sind; und schliesslich diejenigen Personen, die als Nachfolgerin oder Nachfolger sich auf eine bestimmte Position bewerben und vielleicht noch gar nicht im gemeinnutzigen Kontext gearbeitet haben, also den Quereinstieg wagen. Sie alle sind Adressatinnen und Adressaten dieses Buches - aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven heraus mit uberlappenden Fragestellungen und Herausforderungen.
