At the Crossroads

An indispensable guide to the complex art of nonprofit leadership and management

In The Challenge of Change, Philip Coltoff distills the insights he has gained from nearly twenty-five years of leadership at The Children's Aid Society of New York City, one of the largest and best-known not-for-profit organizations in the nation. Now in a Second Edition, The Challenge of Change shares his ideas and experiences with a new generation of not-for-profit leaders and board members.

• Reflects new changes in board structure, statutory requirements, functional relationships, succession, and transitional relationships
• Looks at Coltoff's days at the helm of one of the oldest and most well-known institutions in the United States
• Unparalleled insight and wisdom from a true nonprofit leader and pioneer

Nonprofit executives and board members will benefit from Coltoff's observations and advice about everything from strategic planning and fundraising, to working with volunteers, cultivating diversity, and achieving work/life balance. His straightforward, conversational style is highly readable, and his tales from the trenches help to illuminate the important lessons he learned along the way.
