Publisher's summary

Do you want to become an exceptional nonprofit leader? You have a vision, you have a mission, and you have a burning desire to do good in the world. But that’s it. Starting a nonprofit seemed like the right thing to do but it hasn’t turned out to be that simple. Your skills are in driving social change, not in managing people, finding donors, and all the administrative headaches that come with running a business.

But it’s ok. All of these challenges are solvable and shouldn’t hold you back from fulfilling your purpose. That’s where The 12 Secrets of Exceptional Nonprofit Leaders comes in. In this audiobook, I’m revealing the main factors that will help a nonprofit leader go from good to great. You’ll learn things including:

  • One thing that exceptional nonprofit leaders spend on average 6.5 hours doing each week
  • What an elevator pitch is and what it can do for you
  • How if all you’re doing is managing, then you’re doing something wrong

If you want to realize your full potential as a nonprofit leader and create massive social impact then buy this audiobook right now!

I can write an elevator pitch now!

Pitching is not easy - at least that’s what I thought before I got this book. Now I think; maybe it’s not so bad. I have tips I can actually use, thanks to this book. It is certainly a book to keep coming back to.

An Excellent listen on route to work

This book actually delivers a lot more than its title. Although it is a short listen compared to some of the other ones I have gone through, there is no fluff in this book. It is direct to the point and anyone in leadership domain will be able to have many takeaways from it; from key points on strength of networking to alternative of being jack of all trades; this book has practical and actionable items to implement in whichever stage of leadership role you are at! From the content of this book, it shows the author is a definite leader and has spent time in the trenches! Excellent listen!

Key indeed

Love this piece of gold! Especially where learning about delegating and not taking it on alone. Meanwhile, also not taking all the credit for the work. Will be saving for future reference

Wonderful Insights

Bought this as I'm planning on taking a portion of my life savings to start a nonprofit, and wasn't sure exactly what dynamics were at play for someone in my position, starting a nonprofit. This audiobooks breaks down the most necessary considerations for leading a nonprofit, how to relate to your employees, your market, and your business overall.

The narrator was easy to follow and understand, and was engaging enough to keep my attention. The content was well laid out and structured, would recommend for anyone looking to start or is already leading a nonprofit.

The making of nonprofit leader!

Recently someone I know got promoted to the president of a nonprofit she works at. This book reminds me of some of the traits she has and some that she is working on. This book is an informative guide for nonprofit leaders to evaluate and improve themselves in 12 areas that make great leadership. I like that the book is simple and well organized. This would make a good gift for people who are new to the nonprofit industry.
