Editor’s Note: Thanks to my friend, Ron DiMattia for passing this on to me. It’s a little strident for my taste but the theme is so true. If we are to continue to gain on solving the world’s problems, non-profits must continue to learn to operate more like businesses. Spare me the extremes: I favor neither the current traditional model nor Gordon Gecko model…just a healthy recognition that business disciplines can help build mission sustainability.
