Moving Up to Executive Director: Lessons Learned from My First 365 Days

Hits the nail on the head! I work with New Executive Directors across Texas and it relates in every area.

There's something for everyone. I found refreshers and new information as I used the book to help form a plan.

The product was delivered timely and was just as described. I am very pleased with this purchase.

This is a great resource for nonprofit leaders. With comprehensive and easily digestible information this book belongs on the shelf or in the iPad of every nonprofit executive.

Joanne's book gives you first-hand insight into what it's like to move up to the CEO position from within your organization, never an easy thing to do, but she gives you practical advice to make it a smooth transition.

I chose this rating of 5 STAR for this book "Moving Up to Executive Director: Lessons Learned from My First 365 Days" by Joanne Oppelt because this book is amazingly informative and helpful to those who also have the same challenges. The author, Joanne Oppelt, is able to share in a very understanding and informative way how she moved up to her position of Executive Director in her place of business. I hope that each of you who also read this book can gain as much as I have from the ideas and helpful suggestions and information that Joanne Oppelt has shared with us in her book, Moving Up to Executive Director: Lessons Learned from My First 365 Days. This book is a: "RE!AD IT NOW" book

I teach a course in leading non profits and associations at Carleton University in Ottawa. Besides the books I have written on leading associations based on 19 years experience as a President of a business association, I have not found many useful books written by experienced leaders of non profits or associations. This book is now a textbook for my course because it provide real insights into the challenges an executive director faces in the first year of the job of leading a non profit and how Joanne met those challenges.If Joanne reads this I would love to compare notes on teaching and writing in this field.
