1 (Yes, the first) non-profit business, and therefore the same rules of any viable business must comply with (step by step bloody ).
2 Plan or fail. There should be a mission that has been read often, the same vision. More importantly, the corporate goals to put in writing and solving the 3-5 years objectives and back (1 year, 6 months, quarterly, monthly, weekly and daily). These goals should be read often accompanied with real numbers, facts and figures that are internal reporting to measure success.
3 Post your policies, standards, guide and respond to each statement as CEO was to get a job. Take a stand and stick to it. Do not "change the rules" to suit one's personality, and success will not "just happen", the work must be done just like any other business.
4 The volunteers were employees of nonprofit organizations. Each volunteer needs to work as hard, with as much quality as professionally as you would any other workplace. Therefore, they must be located, interviewed, assessed by the rest of the team for the right "fit" and a written agreement that they sign before working for the nonprofit. Give them a copy since it is their job description. Volunteers need training, nursing, counseling, clear assignments in writing, and clear expectations of the job description in writing. All safety rules apply and they should be delivered to the tools you need to clearly understand that the tools to be used and not taken home. They need frequent assessments (also written ).
5 Praise and other "gold stars" are paid to volunteer, and therefore should be distributed on a regular basis as a paycheck. Put in writing, who did what, when, for the creation of nonprofit success stories. Errors should also be evaluated by a "team" or the Steering Committee and appropriate changes to put into place.
6.Šef must stand behind the volunteers when doubt crops with other volunteers or people from outside because there are no jobs where personal power carries more weight (read: "People of the Lie" by M. Scott Pack). Each volunteer has the potential to become self-centered, self-serving, "holier than you 'fighting. This happens a lot in the nonprofit arena, as many volunteers to imagine that they can not justify the their positions.
7 If volunteers do not perform within the standards organizations, fire them! If the wrong organization, fire them! If you later find out that it was they who were wrong, they catch up and ask them to return, "hire" them back, but keep a close eye on them. They can become the best workers I ever had, or follow the old patterns to "get even" for the public display of distrust of them.
8.Referentni letter-for-profit should be every bit as powerful as a professional through and every other letter of reference.
9 We are all humans, but time, effort, and those who work in the nonprofit may require super-human efforts in times of crisis (like Katrina), to learn from that stress and put time aside to relax as a team, it's just like and any other business.
10 At the end of the day to admit that no matter how much he gave to others (time, money, etc.), they gave more than you ever gave to them. When you no longer feel this way, it's time to go to another area because it is a blow to their ego rather than working to improve the human condition.
