<p>This book uses a light-hearted look at the animal characteristics displayed by human board members to make serious points about such perpetual challenges as goal setting, power struggles and nonproductive behavior. Bradner, a nationally known consultant on not-for-profit and volunteer activity, offers practical guidelines for the role of the chair, the executive director and the board member in making board meetings more satisfying for all participants. The guide is helpful reading for volunteers and paid staff alike, whether on social service, arts, church, education, professional or governmental boards.</p>

<p>Some volunteer efforts are less successful than they could be because those in charge don't know the principles of volunteer management. Others are not successful because those in leadership don't exercise their leadership capacities. This book, by an experienced and thoughtful community leader, focuses on the important marriage of leadership and management skills that inspires consequential, results-oriented volunteer efforts. It will help directors of volunteers, executive directors, presidents of boards, chairpersons of committees, ad-hoc volunteer efforts and councils, as well as mayors and other public officials, to find ways to be more effective in mobilizing the people who can make a difference in their communities.</p>
