Here, a few notes on the new look of business rules, presented by Tom Gaffny, principal at Tom Gaffny Consulting, and Mary Beth McIntyre, president of Win-Win Giving, in the session "Running Your Nonprofit Like a Business" at the DMA Nonprofit Federation 2010 Washington Nonprofit Conference.
Old Rules — 1990s
- Big dogs own the street
- Be No. 1 or No. 2 in your market
- Shareholders rule
- Be lean and mean
- Rank your players; go with the A’s
- Hire a charismatic CEO
- Admire my might
New Rules (a bit more NFP)
- Agile is best; being big can bite you
- Find a niche; create something new
- The customer is king
- Look out, not in
- Hire passionate people
- Hire a courageous CEO
- Admire my soul
