The groundbreaking and premier work on nonprofit organizations, now in the Drucker Signature Series and featuring a new preface by the author

The nonprofit sector of our society is growing rapidly, creating a major need for guidelines and expert advice on how to manage these organizations effectively. Management guru Peter F. Drucker provides excellent examples and explanations of mission, leadership, resources, marketing, goals, people development, decision-making, and much more. Included are interviews with nine experts that address key issues in the booming nonprofit sector.

The reviews of this being poorly performed are correct. The content however is very good. If you're looking for the content you will probably have to listen to this twice.

performance poor, content gpod

This is NOT an audio book! (A fact Audible should have made clear!) It is a series of canned, scripted and awkwardly performed "interviews." The content is good and useful, but the delivery is not good.

Performance could be off-putting to some

the info is good with majority of references to hospitals or churches. some take away are good but as far as managing a non-profit it's minimal. this is better a podcast episode than a audio book.

some good info narrow field of focus

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Decades ago I listened to the complete books-on-tape version. I bought this without noticing it was abridged. Some of the best parts were cut out, including my favorite story of young Drucker (about 14 years old) having a favorite teacher ask his class what they would like to be remembered for. Years later they all remembered that moment and how it had changed their lives.

Drucker's voice is wonderful. He is profound and insightful.

Why didn't they include the whole thing? All they had to do was copy it what already existed. If they had included the whole book, I would have given it 5 stars across the board.

Arrrgh!

What did you like best about this story?

Drucker's wisdom and gentle-gravelly voice.

Any additional comments?

Private sector people should read this too. Much of it applies to them, especially the parts about self-development and motivation. Especially as philosophies like Lean and Agile cause corporate cultures in parts of the private sector to resemble the cultures of non-profits.

Why abridge this wonderful SHORT book? Why oh why?

How can anyone sit and be bored trying to get out of a book what you hope to learn as the voice is so low you cannot hear what they are saying even on 100% volume and spoken so low they sound like they are sleeping and mumbling to themselves. How frustrating!

To low to slow
