Managing the Non-Profit Organization: Principles and Practices (Abridged) Audiobook

" series of interviews and interventions... applied challenges for the non profit organizations. What is the strategy, the customer (a lot of insight here), the management, the intelligences of the non profit organizations... "

" A great book for those working in the non-profit industry. I particular found "the things to avoid" portion very useful, as Drucker is very practical when talking about the issues. I found the interview chapters a bit boring though. "

" This book is considered a classic among non-profit professionals for a reason. It is easy to read and easy to understand. Drucker offers simple but sensible techniques for being an effective non-profit manager. "

" I read this for school- but it is a quick read with lots of insights (and of course places to skip over...). "

" Let people work on things they are good at. Decisions should come out of mission. Leaders/managers must be ethical. "

" This book is amazing and filled with good advice. I loved it and hope to be reading it again before too long. "

" So far a pretty informative book, probably one I'll keep past my college days...I like the way the book was written with interviews in each chapter, and a summary at the end of each chapter, very useful info for anyone interested in the non profit sector. "

" All librarians and nonprofit managers (even for-profit managers) need to read this book. You can probably skip the interviews, as they don't add much and seem to be filler. "

" The primary task of an ER. Assessment. Triage. Within the first 5 minutes. Tell people they are okay and don't need to be in the ER. "

" This book is considered a classic among non-profit professionals for a reason. It is easy to read and easy to understand. Drucker offers simple but sensible techniques for being an effective non-profit manager. "

" I have to admit... for being such a "classic", I found this book to be nearly unreadable. It felt almost like spontanenous, stream-of-consciousness writing. While there may be gems hidden among the words, I found the lack of a coherent outline and "story" very off-putting. "

" Basic, yet essential concepts. The concepts here are built upon in most other nonprofit books. "

" Better than Senge. Seriously. "

" Good insight, but as a collection of different papers and interviews it does not read very well. "

" Written from a conservative, for profit perspective. Very strict. Not sure everything would be applicable in the nonprofit sector. Important perspective though. "

" Peter Drucker is a must read for those working in the "For Purpose" Sector (NFP). I encountered Drucker while studying at Adelaide Uni "

" Currently reading this one, although its a classic in many schools of thought. I'm enjoying it so far and finding many references to our MC Leadership Classes...there's a Max Dupree interview in Ch. 1! Hopefully this book will be helpful as we move forward with Troy Community Works! "

" Peter Druker has a lot of great ideas packed into one book. I'd recommend this for anyone managing a non-profit organization. "

" Not that it was bad, just that I finished with it before it ended. Very simplistic, which some would surely appreciate. "

" Typical Drucker, very beneficial read. "
