What people said about the book

'The perfect book for any charity CEO to have always lingering somewhere close to your desk - never read as a whole but dip into for ideas, structures and processes to consider. It is a treasure-trove. My new edition copy is already getting dog-eared.'
Peer Baneke, Chief Executive, MS International Federation

'Whether you're new to the not-for-profit world or an old hand, if you care about the effectiveness of charities and want to build trust in the sector, read this. Then follow its practical and insightful lessons.' Lynne Berry, CBE, formerly Chair, Breast Cancer Now 'Thorough, pragmatic and approachable - this authoritative how-to guide is ideal for civil society organisations of all stripes and at every stage of their development, whether newly incorporated organisations laying down their foundations or long-established charities striving for modern best practice.' Saleh Saeed, OBE, Chief Executive, Disasters Emergency Committee 'This book is so useful that it should be compulsory reading for every trustee, chief executive and senior manager. If everyone involved in management and governance read this book we'd have a more effective charity sector with far fewer problems.' Amanda Witherall, former Chief Executive, Association of NHS Charities [now known as NHS Charities Together] 'Mike Hudson has the insight required to transform charities from well-meaning groups to high-impact organisations better able to achieve their mission. As CEO of an international charity I know that whether it's structuring staff teams, strengthening boards or working in strategic alliances, this book is an invaluable volume that I keep coming back to.'
