Vol. 1: A Grantmaker's Framework for Understanding Non-profit Leadership Development.
Given the vast literature on leadership development and the challenges
of translating research and theory into practice, this publication
explores a sampling of the leadership development literature. It is
designed as a first step to help inform grantmakers. It highlights 1)
the importance of leadership in the non-profit sector, 2) dominant
theories within leadership research, 3) different approaches to
developing leadership and investing in non-profit capacity, 4) the link
between leadership development and organisational performance, and 5)
steps to advance the field of non-profit leadership development.
