4 Big Mistakes to Avoid with Your Nonprofit Board

John Pearson believes that there are no dysfunctional organizations--only dysfunctional boards. And the boards of faith-based nonprofit organizations have multiple challenges. Board service is not for the weak or timid! This "Governance 101" book warns both experienced and new board members about four big mistakes they must avoid: 1) Not fixing the fuzziness over board and staff roles; 2) Not dating board prospects before proposing marriage (board service); 3) Not leveraging God-given gifts and passion; and 4) Not articulating and owning the ministry strategy. Jam-packed with resources and insights, the book also includes a master list of more than 400 books that the author has reviewed in his eNewsletter, "Your Weekly Staff Meeting."
