Leadership Style

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that the non-profit organization is quite different in terms of leadership needs than the for-profit organization because the non-profit organization often employs their leaders for only nominal salaries or for no pay. The author points out that the leadership must be able to motivate others and to know whether the motivation of the older workers who desire to offer their volunteer services is intrinsic or extrinsic. The paper stresses that the leadership for the non-profit organization must be able to focus, set priorities and follow through on these priorities while maintaining a sense of humor and excitement.
