      Stepping Through Transition: Management, leadership & governance in non-for-profit organizations    
      By: Judith McMorland, Former Senior Lecturer Auckland School of Business
            Lilijana Erakovic, Senior Lecturer Auckland School of Business   

  

This book has been written specifically to help people make sense of change and development in not-for-profit or, as the authors name them, common good organisations (CGOs). The authors clearly explain how organisations transition from small start-ups through to becoming effective community based service agencies or large national organisations seeking more sustainable futures.
