Governance as Leadership introduces a fresh way to think about governance with sensible guidance to turn these ideas into concrete actions. The book will be particularly valuable to trustees and senior staff of professionally managed nonprofit organizations, and to others, including foundation officers, donors, consultants and students of nonprofit organisations, interested in improving nonprofit governance.

"I think trustees and senior staff will see that the work of the board can and should be more enriching than we may have previously realized," said Deborah S. Hechinger, president and CEO, BoardSource. "Governance as Leadership offers nonprofit leaders a new way of thinking about and strengthening board governance."
