Consultants thus leave unaddressed some of the most pernicious problems in the nonprofit sector. The book's important conclusions about the complex role of consultants in the nonprofit world are based on more than a year of ethnographic research and nearly 200 interviews with practitioners. Dr. Reisman concludes with guidance on how consultants, nonprofit leaders, and donors can better collaborate, and overcome traditional \"blind spots\" in the nonprofit-consultant relationship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leah Margareta Gazzo Reisman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1503635368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781503635364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford Business Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Leah Margareta Gazzo Reisman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46110873125119,"sku":"9781503635364","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9307d7f5-b5c7-4a8f-b8ad-364d8130a853.jpg?v=1725470016","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-consultants-shape-nonprofits-leah-margareta-gazzo-reisman-9781503635364","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
