The most difficult task the board of a tax-exempt, public benefit corporation will ever face is finding and keeping a great general manager or chief executive officer. This book organizes the search, evaluation and support of that person in easy to follow steps. But what really sets this book apart from every other nonprofit management book is the index of industry best practices in charity administration. The authors have more than 70 years of combined experience in not-for-profit leadership and know that mastery of the details of administration are the difference between organizations that soar like eagles and the ones that sink like stones. From meeting management, through; staff supervision, fund raising, program evaluation, marketing, strategic planning and board development, this book provides real world tested vocabulary and principles that every general manager needs to know (and every volunteer board member needs to know that their CEO's understands). Finally, no secrets and no surprises in CEO hiring and evaluation because of shared concepts in excellence in administration.
