About this series
What does an Executive Director actually do? And how can you lead your organization to a stronger place?
Nonprofit expert Erik Hanberg wrote The Little Book of Nonprofit Leadership to speak directly to Executive Directors of small (and very small) nonprofits who are asking these questions. EDs, especially at small nonprofits, tend to be dropped into the deep end of the pool with the expectation that they know how to swim. The Little Book of Nonprofit Leadership will be a welcome rescue line.
The book is filled with practical tips and big-picture ideas about:
the basics of the job
program, people, and money—the three essential areas that a nonprofit ED needs to master
working with your board (including how to ask for a raise!)
your first 100 days as a new ED
a guide to being a part-time Executive Director
and more, including access to bonus chapters and special resources!
Erik Hanberg has twenty years of nonprofit experience at organizations of all sizes. He’s channeled that experience into his four “little books” for nonprofits, which together have sold tens of thousands of copies.

Titles in the series (4)
- The Little Book of Gold: Fundraising for Small (and Very Small) Nonprofits
The Little Book of Gold is dedicated to helping small (and very small) non-profits unlock their fundraising potential. Avoid common pitfalls and get tips on proven methods that work. This short guide helps new Executive Directors, active board chairs, and other key staff in charge of fundraising to learn the basics of professional and sustainable fundraising. Geared specifically for non-profits with small and very small budgets (a few hundred thousand dollars a year down to the smallest budgets). Revised and expanded in 2011! "It was a perfect primer for me as I prepare for a new role in my agency." -- Anne Maack, Child Start, Wichita, Kansas "A valuable contribution to our colleagues in the nonprofit world--especially those of us in smaller organizations that do not have dedicated fund development staff."-- Jose Martinez, Executive Director, Food Bank of Yolo County, Yolo County, California
- The Little Book of Likes: Social Media for Small (and Very Small) Nonprofits
Revised and expanded in 2019! The Little Book of Likes is dedicated to helping small (and very small) nonprofits build an audience of readers on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. This short guide leads Executive Directors and nonprofit marketing managers through the ins and outs of a simple social media strategy that is effective and sustainable. With real-world practical advice, it recognizes that nonprofit managers usually have better things to be doing than updating Facebook. Like The Little Book of Gold, it was written specifically for small nonprofits as a "road map" to the often confusing and changing world of social media. The revised and expanded book includes additional material on Facebook advertising, podcasting, and a lot more to help make your social media marketing work for your organization.
- The Little Book of Boards: A Board Member's Handbook for Small (and Very Small) Nonprofits
Are you new to a board and have no idea what’s expected of you? Do you know what a board’s six key responsibilities are? Do you know what your relationship with the Executive Director should be? If not, this book is for you. So many board members—especially of small nonprofits—want to support a nonprofit and readily accept the invitation to join the board. It’s only then that they discover they are in over their heads, with no idea of their expectations and responsibilities. The Little Book of Boards is here to throw that drowning board member a rope. Told with a conversational style, this book will lead you through the basics of being on a board, how meetings work, and what’s expected between meetings. In addition, at the back of the book are several in-depth resources for understanding Roberts Rules of Order, bylaws, committee structures, board leadership, and much more. Perfect for any new board member—or for an entire board that is feeling lost—this book and its common sense approach will serve you every year you are on the board.
