A bestseller since the original US edition in 1986, FROM THE TOP DOWN was the first book to identify the critical link between the actions of an organisation’s senior management and the overall success of volunteer engagement. It has been the go-to book for enlightened CEOs, senior managers and board members around the world wanting to improve the strategic integration of volunteering with their mission, and a guide for volunteer resources managers striving to influence “up” in their organisations.
