Resumen del Editor

What does an executive director actually do? And how can you lead your organization to a stronger place?

Nonprofit expert Erik Hanberg wrote The Little Book of Nonprofit Leadership to speak directly to executive directors of small (and very small) nonprofits who are asking these questions. EDs, especially at small nonprofits, tend to be dropped into the deep end of the pool with the expectation that they know how to swim. The Little Book of Nonprofit Leadership will be a welcome rescue line.

The first section covers the basics of the job, with many practical tips and big-picture questions. It dives deep on three essential areas that a nonprofit ED needs to master to help the organization flourish - program, people, and money. Section two leads an ED through the process of working with your board (including how to ask for a raise!).

Also included are special chapters covering specific challenges EDs of small nonprofits face, such as the best way to start your job as a new ED and a guide to being a part-time executive director.

Erik Hanberg has 20 years of nonprofit experience at organizations of all sizes. He's channeled that experience into his four little books for nonprofits, which together have sold tens of thousands of copies.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A wide-ranging and compelling explanation of what it takes to do a nonprofit executive director’s job well.... Hanberg is a highly engaging writer, and he shows himself to be adept at shifts in pacing that make for fluid reading—and which are generally rare in leadership-related books… A comprehensive guide to managing and leading a small nonprofit organization...." (Kirkus Reviews)

Erik Hanberg is not boring to listen to.

I was oddly captivated by the way the book was read. Maybe because he wrote it. Maybe because the book is not based on theories but his real-life experiences. Not sure, but I looked forward to listening to the book and I learned a ton. I have already listened to the Little Book of Boards which was equally knowledgeable and fun to listen to. Just about to start the Little Books of Likes and I figured why not write a review for a guy who really deserves it while it downloads? Nice work EH (lol, eh)

ED approved!!

As a newer ED, I found this book to be engaging, inspirational, thoughtful, and encouraging to keep going! Thank you for your insight and your experiences!

valuable and easy to follow

hoping to be a future non-profit executive director, I found the advice and explanations in this book to be especially valuable. I set the reading speed to 1.1X, and it was perfect. The performance, the reader, could not have been more articulate and well spoken.
