"This book should sit on the desk of every leader working with volunteers. It's not only based on cutting-edge research but also is chock full of practical guidance on each of its 274 pages. John Lipp's casual writing style partnered with content depth is a robust match. I guarantee the book will pay for itself 100+ times over by creating both human- and bottom-line impact. Whether you're interviewing, managing performance, building teams, fund-raising, or negotiating conflicts with volunteers, this book is an absolute must-read. Bravo, John!" Dr. Mitchell Kusy
A really great book that covers all the bases for managing volunteers. I am developing a course curriculum and the book is perfect and written by a legit author who know the subject well. I may adopt the book as the course textbook!
Thank you John! Brilliant leveraging of deep and broad experience and expertise to create a practical, comprehensive, and enjoyable guide. As both a volunteer and a manager of volunteers, I appreciate the underlying philosophy of encouraging, supporting, and recognizing volunteers appropriately and in alignment with their motivation and needs. Don't miss this book - and if you ever have a chance to take one of John's workshops on this subject, don't miss that either!
My college group and I had to help put a volunteer handbook together for an organization that had just started up. It has several ideas that helped us decided what would needed for the handbook.
