Publisher's Synopsis
Experts help guide nonprofit organizations survive and thrive in difficult leadership transitions. All leaders leave, even the most beloved founder. Sometimes an organization gets advance notice, but not always. But just because it is inevitable doesn't mean leadership change is easy for nonprofit leaders and boards of directors to discuss - too often, they wait until it's too late. "When Leaders Leave," gives executives and board members at nonprofit organizations a tool tailored precisely to their needs to help them think and talk through this difficult subject. Renowned consultants Priscilla Rosenwald and Lesley Mallow Wendell have distilled decades of experience guiding nonprofits, board members and executive candidates into a practical, easy-to-read guide full of useful anecdotes, examples, checklists and quizzes. "When Leaders Leave" provides a road map for organizations at every stage of development.
