Management Development in Non-Profit Organizations: A Programme for Governing Boards
Synopsis
Voluntary organizations engaged in development efforts are usually immersed in very demanding work in unhelpful conditions. This leaves them little time to come to grips with the specialized demands of management development. Adding to the difficulty is the prevailing tendency in many nonprofits and NGOs to distance themselves from the world of ‘management’. However, the need for effective management in their work is often greater than in commercial ventures of a similar size. In this context, the governing board can play an important role in the effective management of voluntary organization, but it is a role is largely neglected. This book-the first of its kind in India-draws upon the authors’ broad experience in consulting to identity the needs of governing boards, and offers a programme designed to meet those needs. This book is a practical, comprehensive and ready reference manual for board member of nonprofit organizations, covering all the issues involved-from the legal frameworks governing NPOs to useful guidelines on fundraising. Using the ‘frequently asked questions’ format, it covers various aspects of NPO management, with an emphasis on the strategy-policy function of boards. With its user-friendly, step-by-step approach, this book will demystify the subject for the benefit of board members. It will also be an important resource for donor agencies and grant-making foundations, consultants and organizers of training programmes for NPOs, management institutes and NGO networks, while being of use to students of development studies, social welfare, organizational behaviour and public administration.
