Beschreibung
This book is about leadership in nonprofit disability and mental health service organisations. It is focused on providing both an academic and a practitioner view of what leadership should look like in this sector and what are the various leadership attributes and skills acquisitions that will guide successful leadership in an array of situations and circumstances. It achieves this dual focus through the detailed analysis of leadership issues across a wide range of relevant topics and issues that centre on academic analysis interspersed with appropriate and relevant sector practice-related examples. In this manner, the book will be of interest to both academics in a range of management-related and disability fields, as well as to practitioners seeking guidance and input on issues pertinent to their own organisation, recognising that all organisations, irrespective of sectors, are able to learn from each other. Additionally, higher education students involved in nonprofit leadership subjects and courses seeking further research in this area to support their studies will also find this book a valuable resource for their studies. An analysis of industry practice is presented following detailed interviews with key executive staff from nonprofit disability and mental health service organizations. This analysis of interviews is presented in a manner that supports and reinforces the academic details presented in the preceding chapters. In this way theory and practice become integrated. This linkage will enable theory to be augmented by real world organizational activities and experiences from key organizational players.
This book contains a wealth of academic research-based information on a broad range of topics that represent issues and challenges faced by all CEOs within nonprofit disability and mental health service organizations.
