Featured Review: Forces for Good: The Six Practices of High-Impact Nonprofits by Leslie R. Crutchfield and Heather McLeod Grant
Winning Workplaces review:
The coauthors of Forces for Good are trying to help nonprofits to see the larger, more systematic picture, as well as to engage their stakeholders and supporters in a more entrepreneurial way. Why? According to Crutchfield and Grant, today's great nonprofits are catalysts: They find ways to leverage other sectors to create extraordinary impact; they transform the system around them to achieve lasting social change.
This book is the product of the coauthors spending four years surveying thousands of nonprofit CEOs, conducting hundreds of interviews and studying 12 high-impact nonprofits to uncover their secrets to success. What they discovered is absolutely mind opening. For instance, for those in nonprofits who face the alternatives of advocating or providing direct service, the authors would say "Go for both!"
There is a wealth of new research and great ideas here for nonprofit leaders, philanthropists, business executives, board members and even donors and volunteers.
