The Strategic Board: The Step-by-Step Guide to High-Impact Governance
From the inside flap:
"There's a strange paradox in the nonprofit world. Take top business executives, highly dedicated
volunteers, and other community leaders-all with impressive records of achievement in their own
fields-and put them together on a nonprofit board, and you wind up, more often than not, with a
remarkably inefficient, indecisive group that seems incapable of turning ambitions into
accomplishments. How can boards overcome their very nature and become well-functioning, goal-oriented
successes? The Strategic Board finally answers that question with a quick and simple blueprint that
will work for every board at every type of nonprofit organization...In this levelheaded, clearly
written guide based on his own extensive experience in nonprofit organizations, Mark Light explains
the seven realities of nonprofit governance that contribute to boards' difficulties, and then
outlines the Strategic Board model of governance-a simple, practical, easy-to-implement solution
to help every board create stability and sustainability, accomplish its purpose, and produce
satisfying results..."
