Managing As Mission pushes the boundaries of what it means to be
a nonprofit manager by making the case that managing as a
reflection of the organizational mission – the cornerstone of any
nonprofit – can bring about the change nonprofits were created to
achieve: a better world for all. The book contains real-world
examples, interview excerpts from nonprofit managers and
directors, and a series of self-reflection and organization-wide
tools to develop managers and managing as a mirror of the
mission.
