Nonprofits are in a leadership crisis. According to the Harvard Business Review, one-third to one-half of new CEOs fail in their first eighteen months on the job.

The Ultimate Guide for New Nonprofit CEOs is a must-have for nonprofit CEOs and their boards to defy those dismal odds and succeed. In this book, Brian Quail unlocks the secret to long-term leadership
excellence.

You’ll learn:
• the powerful blueprint for your first ninety days on the job;
• how to raise revenue beyond what you thought was otherwise possible;
• how using the Five Frameworks can solve your nonprofit’s biggest problems;
• to analyze numbers like a pro—even if you don’t like numbers;
• effective strategies to build your dream senior management team;
• how to use the Three Ts and Three Gs to measure and improve nonprofit performance.

The aftermath of the coronavirus, global economic uncertainty, and geo-political instability mean it’s more difficult than ever for today’s nonprofits to reach their ambitious goals.

If you seek to fulfill your nonprofit’s mission and achieve extraordinary fundraising results during times of crisis as well as abundance, then this book is for you.

Learning How to Become a Successful CEO of a Non-Profit

Learning How to Become a Successful CEO of a Non-Profit
I worked with Brian for many years at the Heart of Florida United Way where he was the CEO while I was the Executive Vice President of Operations for Walt Disney World. During those Years we raised record amounts of donations. I witnessed first hand Brian's approach to leadership and the positive results it achieved for the citizens of Central Florida. I would not only recommend his book for non-profit managers and executives but also for anyone going into any new executive role, for profit or non-profit. The Ultimate Guide for New Non-Profit CEO's is the perfect resource for preparing you to be successful. Lee Cockerell, Former Executive Vice President, Walt Disney World Resort

As a non profit CEO for the last decade, I purchased this book right before I started a new position. The goal was to get as equipped as possible for this change. This book is excellent for a new non profit CEO/ED and also for someone transitioning to a new position. The checklists and questions in the book have made my first 60 days more streamlined and organized.

I ordered this book after hearing Brian Quail on a non-profit leadership podcast. This book is a fantastic resource for those who are the senior leader of a non-profit. He addresses "real world" challenges that every non-profit leader faces and provides excellent leadership principles that will help a senior leader excel.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Blessing in Disguise for All Non-Profits Team Members
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2023

I have worked for, with and volunteered for Non-Profits during my day jobs, eventual self-employment and now mostly retirement. Ten years ago, I eventually was last man standing for leadership role for a failing regional Non-Profit Professional Organization.
Somehow, I had the good fortune to also be a board member for a while with Brian as the new CEO. I got to see Brian lead the Non-Profit to beyond expectations. His leadership was inspirational for me turning around my Non-Profit Professional Organization. I know my experience then is why my former Professional Organization continues today. How much easier it would have been if I had Brian’s book back then.
I am not the first to say Brian’s book is a “Master Class” for new Non-Profit CEOs. I call this book a “Blessing in Disguise” because it is not just for new CEOs. Actually, it is more because it offers organizational excellence, community relationships and examples for all Non-Profit Team Members and Donors that are passionate about supporting their treasured Non-Profits. My copy of Brian’s Book has a number of “dog eared” pages to return to as reference to share specific passages with others.
Yes, I am still involved with volunteering with a number of Non-Profits. I am excited to share Brian’s Book because I know they will find new inspiration to help their Non-Profits grow. When all levels of Non-Profit staff have the opportunity to read and learn from a Guidebook like Brian’s I believe your Non-Profit Team will be on a cohesive quest for excellence.
As I write this review on “Giving Tuesday” there is urgent time left in the year for Non-Profits to reach their financial goals. Blink and it will be a new year to start a new annual fund-raising clock. If at this time of the year your fund-raising is praying for a Photo-finish it means all the hard work this past needed a better strategy. Learn Brian’s Five Frameworks and it is Non-Profit Team Victory Lap time ready for next year’s first 90 days.
Blessings to everyone of the believers that work for and support their Non-Profits with passion.

5.0 out of 5 stars He has Walked the Talk...
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2023

Full disclosure, I consider Brian Quail my primary mentor when at 31 I made a career transition from the corporate to the nonprofit world. He taught me how to be a professional fundraising executive. Brian was my supervisor for four years when he was the VP of Resource Development before being hired as the CEO of a major nonprofit in another state. I feel that experience alone gives me a unique insight into Brian as a leader and as a friend. But about seven years later Brian took on his second CEO position as the leader of a major nonprofit in my hometown. He later hired me as his Chief Development Officer. For the next six years I witnessed Brian implement his CEO frameworks to great success.

This is a very well written and engaging book. And I can personally testify to the efficacy of the program he has so eloquently outlined. I have always considered the role of a nonprofit CEO to be one of the most challenging leadership positions in the professional world. These leaders are faced with the daunting task of doing more with less. I witnessed Brian walk the talk he describes in his book. I believe this guide can be a very effective and practical tool to help not only new CEOs, but volunteer Board Chairs charged with finding and supervising these valuable executives.

I, like Brian, entered the nonprofit management consulting world several years ago. A few days before this book became available on Amazon, the CEO of one of my clients announced her resignation. I was so impressed after reading Brian’s book on Kindle, that I ordered a hard copy version for the incoming Board Chair. I am certain if the volunteer leaders help their new CEO apply the principles and practical exercises described in this book, their collective future will be filled with success. I whole-heartedly recommend The Ultimate Guide for New Nonprofit CEOs.
