The Leadership Deficit [Free!]
One of the biggest challenges facing nonprofits today is their dearth of strong leaders – a problem that’s only going to get worse as the sector expands and baby boom executives retire. Over the next decade nonprofits will need to find some 640,000 new executives, nearly two and a half times the number currently employed. To meet the growing demand for talent, the author offers creative ways of finding and recruiting new leaders from a wide range of groups, including business, the military, and the growing pool of retirees.

Networks for Good Works
Most people think of networking as a means for advancing their own self-interest. But successful social innovators take a different tack, nurturing close ties between members and infusing their networks with a common set of values. As a result, their networks power both personal transformations and large-scale social changes.
