Starting, growing, and managing non-profits leads to challenges that are in some cases more complex than the challenges facing the private sector. Non-profits need to identify their market, confront competitors, and manage their internal operations just as effectively as private firms. However, non-profits must address the needs of multiple constituencies, they must balance their values against the requirements of effective management, and they must attract and retain a skilled labor force without the financial resources that characterize much of the private sector. This course is intended to give students a broad overview of the leadership challenges of the non-profit sector, while providing them with the specific consulting skills they need to assist those leaders as they strive to better meet the needs of the local community.
