Working Across Generations:
Defining the Future of Nonprofit Leadership

Working Across Generations offers a comprehensive look at the leadership and generational shifts in the nonprofit sector. The book presents ideas and gives practical advice on how to approach generational changes in leadership so that the contributions of long-time leaders are valued, new and younger leaders' talent is recognized, and groups are better prepared to work across generational divides.

This book examines the meaning of leadership transfer for individuals, their organizations, and the field; reports on how older and younger social change leaders are preparing (or not preparing) for these changes; and recommends how these transitions can take place in ways that move social sector work forward.

"Leadership, leadership, leadership. The social sector needs more leadership. The social sector needs new leaders. Or does it? Read this solidly researched and cogently argued work by Kunreuther, Kim and Rodriguez. You, like I was, will be enlightened."
