Managing for change

de Ian Smillie

"An increasing proportion of the world's poor are dependent on NGOs for the support the state cannot or will not provide, but little has been written to analyse or guide best management practices, which are so critical to their success.". "Managing for Change addresses the key operational issues facing NGO managers, drawing lessons from the reality of Southern NGOs. It explores areas such as the formation of strategy, effective NGO leadership, the handling of donor relations, staff motivation and development, and the management of styles most appropriate to crises and change. Well written and engaging, clear and comprehensive, this is an essential sourcebook for practitioners, professionals and scholars."--BOOK JACKET.
