Nonprofit vs. For Profit Leadership

The most recent Nonprofit Quarterly has published an article about a recent study comparing evaluations of nonprofit & for profit leaders that found nonprofit leaders led their for profit counterparts in nearly all categories of leadership. It's not terribly surprising that the TNQ would want to bring this news to its readers, but I think the interpretation of the results by Jim Collins sounds about right. Nonprofit leaders generally don't have the resources or authority to make unilateral, "executive" decisions, but instead rely on networks of influence and persuasion... Comparisons aside, it might be nice to make this sort of leadership analysis availalable to arts leaders here in Philadelphia.
