A privately held business faces challenges and pressures that larger publicly held companies do - and often many more - without the same resources. A privately held business, like any business entity, requires good accounting, marketing, operations management, recruiting, and strategic planning. On top of that, issues dealing with partners, family members, or exit strategies add complexity and stress to the role of the president.
Nonprofits should be run like businesses, but, in many ways, they are more complex. Anyone new to the concept of fund accounting or grant accounting, especially federal grants, will agree. Also interesting are the dynamics between the board and the nonprofit's CEO. Developing the board and strengthening the partnership between the board chair and the CEO through chair rotations takes a continuous effort.
