Samenvatting

Why getting results should be every nonprofit manager's first priority A nonprofit manager's fundamental job is to get results, sustained over time, rather than boost morale or promote staff development. This is a shift from the tenor of many management books, particularly in the nonprofit world.

For leaders at nonprofit organizations, good intentions aren't enough.

To be effective, managers need to know how to get results. In this "management 101" manual, Alison Green and Jerry Hauser offer step-by-step guidance on everything it takes to make that happen, including how to:

Effectively manage specific tasks and broader responsibilities
Set clear goals and hold people accountable to them
Establish a results-oriented culture
Hire, develop, and retain a staff of superstars
Address performance problems and dismiss staffers who fall short
Use your own time wisely
Exercise authority without being a tyrant or a wimp
Maximize your relationship with your own boss

Whether you're a new manager or an experienced one, Managing to Change the World will give you the tools you need to get results.

Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews? Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews?

Negatief, positief, neutraal: we zetten een review altijd online. We controleren wel eerst of ’ie voldoet aan onze reviewvoorwaarden en niet nep is. We controleren ook of ’ie is geschreven door iemand die het artikel heeft gekocht via bol.com en zetten dit er dan bij. De controles gebeuren automatisch, al kijken er soms mensen mee. Bol.com betaalt niet voor reviews. Als een reviewer door een andere partij is vergoed, staat dit in de review zelf.
