"Leadership in Nonprofit Organizations is about exemplary leadership as found in both corporate and nonprofit organizations. Taking a fresh approach to the study of leadership, the authors perform research in nonprofits both to understand and appreciate their complexities and to reach conclusions about the nature of leadership in any context, including for-profit and governmental entities." "Leadership in Nonprofit Organizations is an ideal core text for graduate courses in nonprofit leadership. It could also be used as a supplementary text in graduate courses in organization development and leadership, as well as courses in community development, human ecology, and human services. In addition, practitioners, managers, and nonprofit organizational stakeholders will find it of great interest."--BOOK JACKET.
