A Good Book’s Role in Professional Development Youth Villages CEO Patrick Lawler directly applied his appetite for reading and learning to helping his staff develop professionally. Here we share how he uses a reading list to help staff develop in their roles as well as his top ten book recommendations for nonprofit professionals.

How to Start a Reading Group Staying up to date on the latest management tools and techniques or keeping abreast of a quickly changing field seem impossible for busy nonprofit managers. However, those same resources managers don’t have time to read could hold solutions to the very real issues they’re facing. One way to help nonprofit managers gain access to helpful resources is by starting a reading group inside your organization. These five steps can help you get one started.

Recommended Reading for Nonprofit Leaders Over the years, Bridgestar has interviewed a number of nonprofit leaders, seeking their advice on myriad nonprofit leadership, recruiting, and career topics. Their thoughtful feedback and advice has proven valuable, so we decided to ask them “What resources have you read that you would recommend to other nonprofit leaders?” We hope you find their recommendations helpful as you consider your reading list in 2012.

Recruit great team members!
