How to Lead Nonprofits

Summary

Nonprofit leadership is hard. Most new nonprofit leaders are ill-prepared for the challenges they will face, and even those who are more experienced struggle to ensure their organizations deliver the change they are committed to.



Nonprofits are not meant to be run like businesses—different incentives drive different priorities. In particular, nonprofit leaders have a key advantage over business leaders in that purpose is fundamental to their organization's work.



From Nick Grono, CEO of the Freedom Fund and a nonprofit leader with decades of experience, How to Lead Nonprofits offers a leadership framework centered on what matters most for success:



● Achieving outsize impact by pursuing your organization's purpose



● Building an inclusive culture that motivates and empowers your team



● Partnering with the community you serve, funders, and peer organizations to scale impact



With examples and testimony from nonprofit and charity leaders around the world, framed by Grono's own expertise, this is a highly usable guide to harnessing the power of purpose to shape everything your organization does—internally and externally—as you seek to change the world.
