Description
Exposing the Elephants is different from other nonprofit books because it directly confronts the brutal facts of daily existence in the working world of volunteers and professionals. The book characterizes these problems as five huge elephants in the room: volunteers become mission; board and constituent realities conflict; small clatter drowns critical sound; congeniality trumps performance; and rhetoric replaces results. It also supplies workable solutions that help students embrace innovation, new venture risk, and lasting mission achievement, not settle for average performance and maintenance of existing programs.
