Distilling decades of leadership expertise into an effective framework, this is a practical guidebook for nonprofits around the globe, with practical recommendations for the urgently needed steps to make this a better world. Charities in the U.S. and NGOs globally need to overcome two glaring and persistent weaknesses in the eyes of potential donors: trustworthiness and effectiveness. After examining possible causes for these deficits, fundraising and organizational development guru Ken Phillips guides readers through the process that leads to greater trust and respect by donors, better results for beneficiaries, significantly increased funding, and better and bigger programs. Alongside helpful worksheets, he presents seven steps to make sure ethics are meaningful, eight disciplines to ensure programs achieve good results, and a communications approach to demonstrate responsibility and accountability, all interwoven with inspiring case studies from his own international experience and other organizations' stories. Staff and volunteers at registered nonprofits around the world, as well as any individual or group raising funds more informally, will value this guide to empower organizations to win trust, raise more funds, and achieve greater program impact.

This book is for Pastors and Principals in Christian Churches and Young Christian Day Schools as Administrators. The research was completed to help young first time Christian Administrators learn to deal with the issues of Power and Authority in the secular world. The results are in three sections: the first section deals with the findings from the documents which were reviewed by the researcher. The second section reports the findings on the pastors role as seen through interviews with the pastor and other interview participants. The final section reports on the interview findings with the principal and her staff participants. As much as possible the researcher tried to let the interviewees own words tell the story of power and authority at this selected church and school.
