I have six books published on not-for-profit management. My entire focus is helping not-for-profits be more focussed and businesslike in pursuit of their mission.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

I view not-for-profits as mission-based businesses, in the business of pursuing their mission. I try to help not-for-profits adapt business techniques to this end.
