Sinossi

"The Non Nonprofit applies rigorous, real-world  business thinking to nonprofit organizations, government, and the  problem of intergenerational poverty... It is one that ought to be  studied carefully by policy makers, politicians, and all who want  to build a more productive and just society."-from the Foreword by  Bill George       Solving pervasive social problems like systemic poverty requires  passion and creativity, but nonprofit leaders know they must also  achieve tangible results. Fortunately for nonprofit leaders and  social entrepreneurs, the same business principles that drive the  world's best companies can be easily transferred to the realm of  nonprofits. We should give up on the policies and principles that  don't work, and adopt those principles that have been shown  to work in organizations of all types. We need to be pragmatists,  not ideologues or idealists.  Steve Rothschild is the founder of Twin Cities RISE!, a  trailblazing organization devoted to poverty reduction. RISE!  has succeeded where so many other organizations have failed because  its efforts are designed around seven time-tested business  principles. They are:    Have a Clear and Appropriate Purpose.  Measure What Counts.  Be Market Driven.  Create Economic Value from Social Benefit.  Create Mutual Accountability.  Support Personal Empowerment.  Be Learning Driven.           Steve left corporate America (he was a top executive at General  Mills at the time) to found RISE!, having grown increasingly  concerned by the poverty and lack of opportunity he saw all around  his home town. But he brought to his social enterprise the same  business principles, drive, and accountability that made him so  successful in business circles. Here, he shows other enterprises  how to adopt these same business strategies to create better  results. All stakeholders will find this fascinating and useful,  including business leaders, social entrepreneurs, nonprofit  practitioners, government officials, philanthropists, policy  makers, advocates, and concerned citizens.  This book has applications nationally, internationally,  regionally, and locally. It responds to the Obama administration's  search for new approaches to solve systemic social problems. As  insightful as it is inspiring, The Non Nonprofit will  maximize the positive impact of any organization.
