Produktbeschreibung
Nonprofit leaders, particularly those who in their work must stare into the abyss of the human condition - health, safety, housing, hunger, abuse, grief - don't need a guide to running better meetings. They need support keeping the ship afloat and keeping themselves mentally and emotionally fit; they need a greater understanding of themselves and their colleagues more than just about anything else. Because the work can be so fraught, any conversation that seeks to support such leaders must be real. This book offers deep insights and practical strategies that enable nonprofit leaders to navigate their way through extraordinary challenges. Through examples and case studies that illustrate important principles of personal and professional development, leaders will learn actionable strategies to manage the chaos both inside and outside of their organizations. It all begins with a sense of self, an awareness of one's leadership style, and one's personal strengths and weaknesses. From that understanding comes a greater sensitivity to the needs of colleagues and partners; and from that understanding flows the ability, through a stronger organization, to change the world.
