Book Talk on Engine of Impact: The Essentials of Strategic Leadership in the Nonprofit Sector

We are entering a new era—an era of impact. The largest intergenerational transfer of wealth in history will soon be under way, bringing with it the potential for huge increases in philanthropic funding. Engine of Impact shows how nonprofits can apply the principles of strategic leadership to attract greater financial support and leverage that funding to maximum effect.

William F. Meehan III and Kim Starkey Jonker identify seven essential components of strategic leadership that set high-achieving organizations apart from the rest of the nonprofit sector. Together, these components form an “engine of impact”—a system that organizations must build, tune, and fuel if they hope to make a real difference in the world.

By offering crucial insights on the fundamentals of nonprofit management, this book will help leaders equip their organizations to fire on all cylinders and unleash the full potential of the nonprofit sector.

Speakers: Georgia Levenson Keohane, Adjunct Associate Professor, and Executive Director, The Pershing Square Foundation; Kim Starkey Jonker, President and CEO, King Philanthropies; and William F. Meehan III, Lafayette Partners Lecturer in Strategic Management, Stanford University Graduate School of Business, and Director Emeritus, McKinsey & Company
