Did you know the Titanic disaster held some breathtaking examples of leadership success as well as failure? Can you imagine a teenage girl from the 15th century could be your leadership mentor in the 21st century?
If you have been called to leadership in a non-profit organization, a church, or a ministry of any sort, these and other stories will inspire you to leadership success.
In Mister Buddy's Guide to Non-Profit Leadership, Peter Darcy offers one mission leader's idea of "best practices" in the non-profit sector. You will learn what makes a mission-oriented organization and its leaders tick. Learn and live the author's forty concise principles for leadership success in a charitable world:
- 8 Core Leadership Principles
- 8 Core Promotional Principles
- 8 Core Mission Principles
- 8 Core Organizational Principles, and - 8 Core Performance Principles.
And there's an added bonus: this story of leadership is narrated by the author's family dog, a huge and funny yellow lab named Mister Buddy, who is a pretty shrewd judge of character and a dynamic leader of the pack in his own right. You won't want to miss his words of wisdom on life and lead- ership, and on how to manage those unpredictable, and sometimes unruly, characters known as humans.
"Over a 40 year career in business I read, and was formed by, some of the Masters: Drucker, Peters, Porter, Collins, Lencioni et al. Never, however, have I read a book that better integrated leadership princi- pals, business imperatives, cultural observation, Christian spirituality, and missionary initiative. When you finish this book, you will not only be wiser about what it takes to run a successful enterprise; you'll find yourself challenged to become a better version of your best self."
