Everyone who wants to make a meaningful contribution in the nonprofit world should read this book. While the life cycle of organizations has been addressed by others (and some of that previous work is referenced in this book), this is the first time I have seen it related directly to real world strategies and actions that nonprofit managers in all areas - leadership, financial planning, fundraising, program planning, etc. - can use to strengthen their organizations. As a fundraiser, I found valuable new insights on fundraising effectiveness and strategic planning for resource development. Whatever your nonprofit role, you cannot afford to ignore the key concepts presented here, if you wish to continue to be relevant and effective in fulfilling your mission.
