The Little Book of Nonprofit Leadership

Erik Hanberg offers an excellent how-to manual for executive directors of non-profits – essential reading for those who lead or hope to lead small, community-based non-profits, and for their board members. The author provides concrete examples of the challenges facing leaders of small non-profits and deals with the nitty-gritty of managing staff, working with the board of directors, fundraising and preparing a budget. Hanberg includes sample budgets, models of emails to essential stakeholders, and talking points to use with donors and senior board members. He even suggests strategies leaders can use to ask for a raise.
