If You're Looking for Great Advice, You'll Find it Here!,
This review is from: The Complete Guide to Nonprofit Management (Wiley Nonprofit Law, Finance and Management Series) (Paperback)
After reading several books and on-line articles on non-profit management, I have found this book to be one of the most helpful that you can find. It has everything from strategic planning, to board and staff relations. What a great book! Even with my years of experience in working with non-profit organizations I still found this book to be very helpful.

Not for Volunteer Operated Non-Profits,

This review is from: The Complete Guide to Nonprofit Management (Wiley Nonprofit Law, Finance and Management Series) (Hardcover)
My sense is that this book is aimed at larger and more well funded non-profits than I have experienced. There are many references to "have the staff do it". The non profits that I have experienced and tried to help organize have had at most one staff person. Thus much of the advice is aimed at a different organization than these. For larger organizations (budget over $50,000) this book offers some helpful advice. I found the section on organizing meetings (or conventions) as being particularly helpful.

Reasonably good overview of business disciplines,

This review is from: The Complete Guide to Nonprofit Management (Hardcover)
This was a text for a graduate class in non-profit management. It was far better than the other text, and some chapters were very helpful. It would be better served as a reference book for an executive library than to read cover to cover.
