success is building a strong relationship between the executive director
and the board of trustees. This book is a treasure trove of information
for navigating the personal, political, and legal minefields that cause
so many nonprofits to fail. Dozens of case studies illuminate the key
issues that often impede the progress of nonprofit organizations. Each
chapter also contains a set of questions that enable leaders to reflect
