What Business Can Learn from Nonprofits Peter F. Drucker
As a rule, nonprofits are more money-conscious than business enterprises are. They talk and worry about money much of the time because it is so hard to raise and because they always have so much less of it than they need. But nonprofits do not base their strategy on money, nor do they make it the center of their plans, as so many corporate executives do.
What do these unpaid staff people themselves demand? What makes them stay—and, of
course, they can leave at any time. Their first and most important demand is that the
nonprofit have a clear mission, one that drives everything the organization does. A
senior vice president in a large regional bank has two small children. Yet she just took
over as chair of the state chapter of Nature Conservancy, which finds, buys, and
manages endangered natural ecologies. “I love my job,” she said, when I asked her why
she took on such heavy additional work, “and of course the bank has a creed. But it
doesn’t really know what it contributes. At Nature Conservancy, I know what I am here
for.”
