Reviews
Peter Drucker first identified the importance of studying non-profit management. ‘No Margin, No Mission’ is one famous quote. Nonprofits are by far the largest employer group in the US, and they are the original laboratory for managing knowledge workers. Kathleen Stauffer has added valuable insights to the store of knowledge in this field. Ms. Stauffer's 11 Secrets lives in the real-world of experience, and I find that her insights are also relevant to some of the startups that I work with.
