At the Crossroads: Not-for-Profit Leadership Strategies for Executives and Boards

Summary

Philip Coltoff spent forty years working with the Children's Aid Society in New York City, serving as its leader for almost 25 of those years. There is no question that he knows about nonprofit leadership and the challenges of change. But At the Crossroads: Not-for-Profit Leadership Strategies for Executives and Boards isn't just another how-to guide for nonprofit executives; it's a history lesson about the evolution of the charitable sector; it's a memoir of Coltoff's days at the helm of one of the oldest and most well-known institutions in the United States; it's a love letter to the social services sector he dedicated his life to. And it is filled with wisdom and insight that could only come from someone who has been there. This revised and expanded edition  includes new changes in board structure, statutory requirements, functional relationships, succession, and transitional relationships.
