Leadership in Nonprofit Organizations: Lessons from the Third Sector

This book is a must have for anyone with either a personal or professional interest in organizational leadership. The authors offer an effective outline of exemplary leadership in the nonprofit arena through a compelling assortment of case studies and review of relevant literature. A particular strength of this publication lies in its analysis of "alignment," which speaks to the critical dynamic between organization and leader. Here Dym and Hutson manage to buck the trend of current literature on leadership to focus exclusively on the strengths possessed by an individual leader. Furthermore, their concept of leadership is inclusive, allowing for multiple approaches to effective leadership. I will buy this book for colleagues and friends alike!
