Managing a Nonprofit Organization in the Twenty-First Century

Managing a Nonprofit Organization in the Twenty-First Century Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Since this classic work was originally published in 1984, there have been major shifts in the nonprofit world — the growth of more profit-oriented ventures, the overhaul of accounting rules, new partnerships, and an emphasis on customer-oriented service and leadership. In easy-to-understand language, Thomas Wolf explains how to cope with these changes and deal with the traditional challenges of managing staff, trustees, and volunteers.

Review:

Harvey Pickerformer trustee, New York Philharmonic and United Nations Institute for Training and ResearchEvery nonprofit organization needs this book to improve its operation...Its checklists and explanations will improve the performance of even the most experienced board chairperson, CEO, treasurer, or fund raiser.

Review:

Hodding Carter IIIPresident and CEO, the John S. and James L. Knight FoundationAs a newly arrived foundation executive, I put Wolf's volume at the top of my stack of reference books. It answers all the important questions about managing a nonprofit — in a style whose clarity is matched only by its depth of knowledge. Thomas Wolf has given the field an invaluable resource, meeting a need that has never been greater.

Review:

Christine W. LettsKennedy School of Government, Harvard University, and author of High Performance Nonprofit OrganizationsI recommend this book and use it in my nonprofit management class. It is an excellent primer providing insight and prescription for the thinking nonprofit leader.
