Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonprofit leadership is messy Nonprofits leaders are optimistic by nature. They believe with time, energy, smarts, strategy and sheer will, they can change the world. But as staff or board leader, you know nonprofits present unique challenges. Too many cooks, not enough money, an abundance of passion. It’s enough to make you feel overwhelmed and alone. The people you help need you to be successful.

Joan Garry’s Guide to Nonprofit Leadership will show you how to do just that. Funny, honest, intensely actionable, and based on her decades of experience, this is the book Joan Garry wishes she had when she led GLAAD out of a financial crisis in 1997. Joan will teach you how to: Build a powerhouse board Create an impressive and sustainable fundraising program Become seen as a ‘workplace of choice’ Be a compelling public face of your nonprofit This book will renew your passion for your mission and organization, and help you make a bigger difference in the world.

Download or read book The Power of Team Leadership written by George Barna and published by WaterBrook. This book was released on 2013-04-03 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most leadership in today’s churches comes from “solo practitioners”--individuals who bear the burden of providing all the direction the ministry they direct requires. Inevitably, this results not only in burned-out leaders, but underutilized lay people who merely attend and observe rather than becoming actively engaged in ministry, growing in discipleship, and freeing professional staff to focus on pastoral priorities. In The Power of Team Leadership, noted researcher George Barna demonstrates the incredible difference lay-team leadership can make in a church’s ministry. Based on Barna’s latest national studies, the book sets forth clearly what churches need to know in order to recruit, train, and deploy lay leadership teams for maximum effectiveness in the Kingdom of God.

Download or read book The Servant Leader written by Robert P. Neuschel and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2005-11-07 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "How do we develop into leaders whom others will want to follow? Robert Neuschel firmly believed in the principle of servant leadership, which he learned early in his military career in World War II, where a demanding infantry captain taught him. "Always serve your troops first that you may command them better." The philosophy at the heart of The Servant Leader, recognized as one of the world's classic leadership texts, is "to grow the total soldier" - to feed the mind, the heart, and the spirit." "Neuschel adopted and tailored this philosophy throughout his subsequent long and successful corporate and academic careers. He proved than enabling people at all levels to grow as leaders can only benefit them and the organizations to which they belong." "In the past several decades, Neuschel became concerned with corporate leaders' preoccupation with quick shareholder value at the expense of building enduring organizations based on ethical values. In his book he forcefully outlines how leaders must take personal responsibility for all their decisions and actions." "The Servant Leader provides thoughtful insights from a man who truly understood the importance of humility and humanity to all those who take on the role of leader."--BOOK JACKET.
