How Management Can Destroy a Not-for-Profit: Boards Take Note
This 4-page article addresses a philosophy which can make or break the not-for-profit, how boards need to govern to ensure the philosophy and values are solid, and warning signs to observe.
The warning signs discussed include
- Over-compensatory behaviour
- Fear-based conversations
- Staff feeling enough is never enough
- More concern about benefits than obligations to clients
- Inability of staff to get work completed
- Excuses
Fortunately, the board does not have to fall into those management traps.
