Abstract:
Voluntary, arts, housing and campaigning organisations, and other professional groups are all part of Australia's expanding 'third sector' - non-profit-making organisations that are motivated by social rather than economic objectives. In this book, Mike Hudson with Lyla Rogan set out the essential elements of management that are needed to make these organisations successful. This indispensable guide demonstrates how to: establish strong and suitably constituted boards; strengthen strategic management and performance; develop a mission and clarify objectives; manage and inspire people, as individuals and teams; create a learning organisation; and manage change. Distilling a vast amount of information into an easy-to-use guide, Managing Without Profit provides a practical overview for busy managers and board members who need to learn a lot in a short space of time.
