Book Description

1555426514 978-1555426514 September 23, 1994 1
I expect the Jossey-Bass Handbook will be a basic reference and source of numerous ideas and guidance for practicing managers, leaders, students, and teachers in this field for years to come. It belongs on the bookshelf of every leader and manager of a nonprofit organization
?Dennis R. Young, Mandel Professor of Nonprofit Management, and governing director, Mandel Center for Nonprofit Organizations, Case Western Reserve University

Herman and his associates have created a book that organizes a complex topic in a sensible and accessible way. Nationally recognized experts expand the reader's perception well beyond narrow managerial issues, but the managerial meat is here, too. Whether for reference or teaching purposes, a better set of topics and authors on nonprofit leadership and management is difficult to imagine.

?Bradford H. Gray, executive director, Program on Non-Profit Organizations (PONPO), Yale University

The leading experts in the nonprofit field describe effective practices in all the distinctive and important functions, processes, and strategies of nonprofit leadership and management. Based on up-to-date research, theory, and experience, this comprehensive volume offers practical advice on every aspect of managing nonprofit organizations, including board development, strategic planning, lobbying, marketing, government contracting, volunteer programs, fund raising, financial accounting, compensation and benefits programs, risk management, and much more.



Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Many management concepts and practices apply universally, but nonprofit organizations have many unique aspects that make administration and direction of them different. A few books, most notably Peter Drucker's Managing the Non-Profit Organization (1990), have considered this. Now Herman, who teaches nonprofit management at the graduate level at the University of Missouri at Kansas City, and publisher Jossey-Bass have brought together 28 experts in the fields of nonprofits and management to give us this encyclopedic look at what is sometimes called the third sector. Divided into five major sections (the nature of nonprofit organizations and their context in society, leadership issues, management of operations, development and management of financial resources, and managing people) that address such issues as fund-raising, managing volunteers, lobbying, ethics, and government contracts, the Handbook should become a major reference work for this subject of growing significance.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Source For Information, May 7, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Jossey-Bass Handbook of Nonprofit Leadership and Management (Jossey-Bass Nonprofit Sector) (Hardcover)
While this book does contain a lot of invaluable information, I caught myself dozing off several times while reading. It is a good book for use as reference and a wonderful tool for concrete guidance, but I have found other books with same information less "text book" and easier to read.
