Based on interviews with 250 leading thinkers from the worlds of philanthropy, scholarship, and consulting, as well as 250 executive directors of some of the nation's most effective nonprofits, the book argues that there is no one best way to higher performance. Although higher performance clearly requires a commitment to excellence, it can be achieved along more than one pathway using one of several different strategies. Pathways to Excellence shows that every nonprofit organization can improve--no matter how well or poorly it is currently performing--often by taking simple first steps up a development spiral to high performance. 606 $aNonprofit organizations$xManagement 606 $aOrganizational effectiveness 606 $aLeadership 615 0$aNonprofit organizations$xManagement. 615 0$aOrganizational effectiveness. 615 0$aLeadership. 676 $a658/.048 700 $aLight$b Paul Charles$0858555 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812470103321 996 $aPathways to nonprofit excellence$94103527 997 $aUNINA
