recently revised book, Leadership for the Common Good from 4:30 to 5:30

and Nonprofit Sector Division of the Academy of Management. In the completely
revised second edition, Crosby and Bryson expand their leadership model and
offer new insights and guidance for today's leaders.

for senior managers of nonprofit, business and government organizations in the
U.S., United Kingdom, Poland and Ukraine.
