Book Description

2009
Leaders of today's nonprofit organizations need to know how to turn their missions and strategies into real world impact, and that's what Managing to Change the World is all about.

In this "Management 101" manual, The Management Center's Jerry Hauser and Alison Green offer usable, step-by-step guidance on how nonprofit leaders can get great results. They walk you through everything from delegating tasks, to setting and holding people accountable to clear goals, to hiring and firing, to staying organized and using your time effectively, to managing your boss. Each chapter includes numerous related tools, such as sample scripts for conducting a firing, sample project plans, and interview questions to ferret out super star performers.

Whether you're a new manager or an experienced one, Managing to Change the World will give you the tools you need to translate your vision into reality.

This review is from: Managing to Change the World: The Nonprofit Leader's Guide to Getting Results (Paperback)
Of limited use. Not nearly as comprehensive as title implies. Expected more from very good source. Best on HR-related issues.
