Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
Executive directors can often feel that the problems they face in working with their board are never ending, every day, and everywhere occurrences. Stephen Block draws on thirty-six years of experience to outline the roles and responsibilities of nonprofit boards and examines the common barriers to success. By drawing on the central concepts and values of the social work profession, this book develops of model of board management that empowers executive directors to manage a successful and productive board. The information in the book is as relevant for an experienced director as it is for a student of nonprofit management.
The Board Relationship Model is at its core a collegial, partnership-based approach to board management that values the "human element" above all else. It addresses problems from a social work perspective--first assessing the situation to formulate a coherent plan of intervention, implementing the plan, and finally evaluating the results. Using theory, research findings, and case studies, the book clearly demonstrates the two distinct modes of problem-solving the model was designed for--first, addressing the specific problems that impede board functions, and second, building and maintaining the relationships that lead to long-term success.
Social Work and Boards of Directors: The Relationship Model has two distinguishing features. The first is that it is written with social workers in mind. The second is that it provides a comprehensive model to assist in resolving board and executive director conflicts, as well as providing guidance on improving the board's effectiveness.
