Library Journal
Drawing upon numerous current examples, the authors describe the four characteristics that enable nonprofit organizations to achieve excellence. These are a clearly articulated mission statement, leadership that is attentive to culture, an involved and committed governing board, and the ability to attract volunteers and financial resources. Ten case studies illustrate how these traits have been applied in nonprofit organizations such as historical societies, economic development centers, and human services agencies. The final part of the book focuses on how any nonprofit organization can utilize the four principles of excellence to build a stronger organization. Like Thomas Peters and Robert Waterman's In Search of Excellence ( LJ 2/15/83), this is a valuable resource that is well written and easy to understand. Highly recommended for all types of libraries.-- Jane M. Kathman, Coll. of St. Benedict, St. Joseph, Minn.
