Summary: "From technological advances to new organizational development trends to global crises and racial reckonings, managers and leaders have a lot to contend with. This how-to guide will cover the essential elements of effective management--management that is equitable, sustainable, and results-driven. This book will help busy managers and leaders bridge the gap between intentions and impact by providing concrete and actionable advice, tools, and resources. From delegation to goal-setting to building a strong team culture, this book gets at the art and science of management in a nonprofit and educational equity context. Most management and leadership books, such as Good to Great (Jim Collins), The Making of a Manager (Julie Zhuo), The Culture Code (Daniel Coyle), Multipliers (Liz Wiseman & Greg McKeown) and Leaders Eat Last (Simon Sinek) are geared towards managers in the for-profit sector. Most nonprofit management books are focused on leadership and organizational development more broadly, often targeting executive directors and CEOs. This book is for everybody working towards social change, regardless of their tenure or role. Whether the reader is a new or seasoned manager, an executive director or CEO, or an organizer managing volunteers, they will gain valuable insights and actionable advice from this book"-- Provided by publisher.
