A Must Have Handbook for a Non Profit CEO

This book goes in depth and covers all of the relevant topics a Non Profit CEO needs to know, think about, and act on in their role. It’s like sitting down with a trusted advisor to get the guidance you need.

super practical

Running a non-profit organization effectively is a very nuanced and uniquely challenging assignment. If only there was some kind of manual that you could follow to make sure you are stewarding all the parts effectively. Oh wait! There is! It's this book!

I think this book has three potential audiences. First, the new non-profit CEO, as the title of the book suggests. Second, the non-profit leader who is considering becoming a CEO. And third, veteran CEOs who may have lost sight of some of the basics. This book is a solid reminder of all of the things wrapped up in the non-profit CEO's job.

It's a playbook, especially for the first 90 days. and it's narrated by the author, which makes it authentic for two reasons. First, he has credibility as a proven non-profit leader. And second, there's nothing like hearing an audible book that is narrated by the author themselves.

Practical advice

Brian's book really provides practical advice for every nonprofit CEO, particularly those who are entering into a new position. Well worth the read.
