Trade ReviewPeter Drucker first identified the importance of studying non-profit management. 'No Margin, No Mission' is one famous quote. Nonprofits are by far the largest employer group in the US, and they are the original laboratory for managing knowledge workers. Kathleen Stauffer has added valuable insights to the store of knowledge in this field. Ms. Stauffer's 11 Secrets lives in the real-world of experience, and I find that her insights are also relevant to some of the startups that I work with. Kathleen Stauffer has written the blueprint for creating, managing and advancing a successful and thriving non-profit. Really, if you have a business of any kind this book is a must-read. The strategies in this book will not only take you to the top but will keep you there." - David Perozzi, Senior Producer, CNN
