by John E. Tropman (Author)
At a time of rapid social, economic, and organizational change, community benefit organizations (CBO) have a nearly unprecedented need for managers and leaders who are not just ethical and mission-centric, but also competent-managers and leaders who have the whole picture of the CBO landscape and the skills to efficiently and effectively guide it in its mission, increase value, and achieve lasting impact.
Conversational and well-paced, Supervision, Management, and Leadership draws on classic, time-tested perspectives while fully integrating emerging priorities, practices, and tools of the digital revolution. This book provides readers with a roadmap for moving up in an organization and a handbook for how to develop as a competent manager and leader.Author Biography
