What you can expect
Mistakes are a normal part of life, and from time to time we’ll all make them. My goal in writing this book is to help you proactively identify some of the costliest mistakes made in our sector, and to give you the insights and the tools you need so you don’t make these same mistakes. Go make other mistakes, for sure. Learn from those and improve. Don’t waste your time and energy repeating mistakes that you can avoid by reading this book.
Each chapter addresses specific mistakes, nonprofit best practices, and other industry tips from across our sector. So what are some of these mistakes?
- Instilling Fear of Failure in Your People
- Making Decisions based on Cost instead of Value
- Not Getting Face to Face with your Best Supporters
You’ll get real-world examples of how I and my other contributors have made our own share of these mistakes, those we’ve observed others in the industry make, what we’ve learned from them, and what we’d do differently today. More importantly, we share what YOU can do differently today to avoid making the same mistakes we did.
