Afterword

Peter Drucker provides us with the big picture of the nonprofit organization’s significance and indispensable role, today and tomorrow. "The more economy, money, and information become global, the more community will matter," notes Peter. “The leadership, competence, and management of the social sector nonprofit organization will thus largely determine the values, the vision, the cohesion,and the performance of the 21st century society.”

There is a new energy as leaders of the future embrace the opportunities inthis wider world. Social sector leaders must step to the fore and, employing the strength of nonprofit missions and values, operate as the “equal partner of business and government in developing responsible leaders, caring citizens, and a healthy, inclusive society.”

Each alliance with a business that your nonprofit organization develops, carries out, and appraises can further your mission and enhance your capacity to lead beyond the walls. It is through alliances, partnerships, and collaborations that organizations across all sectors together build the inclusive, cohesive community that cares about all its people.
