Leadership in Nonprofit Organizations is about exemplary leadership
as found in both corporate and nonprofit organizations. The authors
take a fresh approach to the study of leadership: they perform
research in nonprofits both to understand and appreciate their
complexities, and to reachconclusions about the nature of
leadership in any context, including for-profit and governmental
entities. Moving from nonprofit to for-profit in this way reverses
the flow of ideas as represented in the mainstream literature of
leadership. The authors' journey leads through case studies of
remarkable leaders succeeding in complex situations. The book
explores contemporary versions of leadership as embedded in
American culture. It develops the concept of good fit between the
leader and circumstances in which she or he must lead; it reveals
predictable leadership dynamics and cycles; it explains how leaders
can increase the readiness for change in their organizations; it
describes the felt experience of "flow" when successful leaders are
lost in the moment. Although each chapter employs a different lens,
the object is the same throughout-leadership as the practice of
alignment. The result is a multifaceted view of leadership as a
complex system of shifting interrelationships that yields insights
useful to students, researchers and leaders themselves. Features
and Benefits: Critical review of literature on leadership which
encourages diversity in leadership models and approaches. Case
studies of nonprofit leadership which affirm public-minded,
mission-driven leaders and acknowledge their contributions.
Chapters on leadership constructs such as fit, dynamics, readiness
and flow which provide useful insights and methods to enable
success. Overarching concept of alignment which reframes leadership
as an active process where the awareness of and response to the
interplay of multiple, relevant factors matters more than charisma,
pedigree or power.
