This book is must reading for every newly-anointed CEO, especially those working in the not-for-profit sector. Being made the Boss is definitely a good thing, but past success is no guarantee of being successful in this role. Quite the contrary. Each year we read in the papers where an accomplished and talented individual simply does not make the grade and is dismissed. These individuals are mostly clueless as to what they did wrong and blame everyone and anything except themselves. Had they absorbed and practiced the principles described in this book, they would likely still have their jobs. The problem is you don't know what you don't know. Leadership requires special knowledge. Read the book and learn."

Richard Goldstein, MD, President,
New Jersey Council of Teaching Hospitals

If you want to be a successful non-profit C.E.O., this book is the tool that will guide you down the path to greatness."

Robert J. Coloney, President and CEO,
Center for Hope Hospice & Palliative Care

"As the chief executive of a nonprofit that provides life changing services, my attention is stretched between donors, volunteers, staff and those we serve to fulfill our mission. This book aided me in re-focusing on my primary responsibility of LEADERSHIP - to have a Vision for the organization and influence others to work toward fulfilling that Vision.

"Glenn Jenkins, Executive Director,
The Institute for Children with Cancer and Blood Disorders

Does your nonprofit organization suffer from a 'non-profit mentality?' Are you too preoccupied with daily challenges to focus on your mission, build your vision, nurture relationships with constituents, and last but not least create a positive operating margin?

Dennis C. Miller has solutions for nonprofit organizations that know they must up their game in a world where they are competing with profit-driven institutions for limited talent and resources. Miller brings the nonprofit sector squarely into the 21st century and points the way forward, showing those who run or work for nonprofits:

Why much more emphasis should be placed on training and on rewarding high performing employees.
How all nonprofits must periodically reevaluate their mission to see if it is ambitious enough or perhaps too ambitious.
Why measuring and then communicating success can enhance fundraising.
How establishing your brand is as crucial for nonprofits as it is for the Fortune 500.
Why you must think of your organization as if it had a 'stock price' that can rise or fall.

Often, people don't realize the potential for taking their nonprofit organization to new heights. But by the end of reading Miller's guide they will learn to soar. They will be able to create a more positive image and a greater demand for their services, have more people wanting to become employees, board members and volunteers, achieve recognition for excellence in their field, and see an increase in donors and dollars.
