Nature's Keepers: The Remarkable Story of How the Nature Conservancy Became the Largest Environmental Organization in the World Hardcover - 2005
by Birchard
First line
From the jacket flap
The story of the Nature Conservancy is a story about people building a top-tier institution--one of the most successful organizations in the world. Although ultimately it is a story of success, it is also a story about men and women confronting crises and challenges. Nature's Keepers captures the behind-the-scenes story of people taking courageous steps to transform and improve the way they work--and continue to log achievements that count. It reaffirms that people who weather and profit from difficulties, sometimes the most daunting or nerve-racking of their careers, separate organizations that thrive from those that do not. Indeed, the people appearing in Nature's Keepers emerge from crucibles of learning that force them to rethink behavior, rewrite rules, reconfigure processes, and reinvent the way they work.
In Nature's Keepers, the leaders of the Nature Conservancy overcome countless challenges--mission confusion, conflicts of organizational culture, an obsolete business model, weaknesses in governance, "ad hoc" management, homegrown international expansion, a crisis in public accountability--and time and time again transform and improve their organization. Their riveting story offers lessons and role models for creating an organization that has the drive, commitment, and spirit to succeed. As Nature's Keepers shows, the Nature Conservancy's practice of supporting innovative approaches has produced successful leaders determined to mold, rather than just manage, the world they leave to their children.
