Nonprofit organizations are structured are operated similar to for-profit organizations, distinguished only by their purpose for existence. The key to effectiveness and longevity is sustainability through dynamic leadership, technical expertise, human relations, and conceptual skills that drive all organizations. This book is a revision and expansion of two earlier books, Skills for Effective Human Services Management (1991) and Skills for Effective Management of Nonprofit Organizations (1998).
