Publisher's Synopsis
Attention nonprofit CEOs and board members... Award-winning author and Certified Leadership Coach Patrick Jinks delivers his long-awaited perspective on strategic planning for leaders in the social sector. Nonprofit boards and directors rely on strategic planning to accomplish their missions, but far too many of them engage in strategic planning processes that are outdated, perfunctory, and ineffective. Jinks combines his two decades of nonprofit executive leadership experience with his executive coaching and leadership development experience to bring a refreshing look at what has become a stale, old function of nonprofits. Strategic Fail outlines 10 key reasons nonprofits fail to design and execute effective strategy, and shares easy-to-grasp tips for doing it better. The book also contains access to a free organizational self-assessment tool, based on The Jinks Perspective's 5x5 Organizational Matrix(TM).
