Nonprofit organizations need smart, informed managers. This
comprehensive introductory textbook aims to expose students to the
range of responsibilities expected from modern nonprofit
organizations and their boards, executive management, frontline
staff, and community volunteers. Section 1 focuses on the
characteristics of a nonprofit organization, with an explanation of
the specific attributes of both charitable and member-serving
nonprofits. It considers the historical development of the
nonprofit sector as a whole and of the human services subsector in
particular, culminating with a review of the political and economic
climate in which nonprofits operate. Section 2 considers theories
of leadership. The multiple roles of the nonprofit professional
leader are delineated, to recognize that the same person may serve
as manager and administrator, motivated by different priorities
when functioning in each capacity. Ethical issues are also
considered, along with the theoretical and practical aspects of
decision-making, and the relationship between organizational
culture and organizational change. Sections 3 and 4 address the
specific skills of the nonprofit leader involved in securing
material resources and managing human resources, respectively. The
book concludes with a focus on the role of volunteers and the need
for organizations to provide them good experiences if they want
volunteers to keep coming back. Featuring an extended case study,
this book is a useful guide for students and professionals new to
the workplace on topics such as successfully managing change,
strengthening programs, nurturing a dynamic board of directors,
diversifying revenues, and building a strong, committed staff and
volunteer corps.
