Doing Good Even Better is approachable wisdom, fresh from the recently retired chair of Habitat for Humanity International. Edgar Stoesz has fixed his eagle eye on two failings common to may boards of nonprofit organizations: 1.) Distinguishing their governance role from the role of management; 2) Boards skimp on two matters: a) preparation of their members, and b) regular evaluations of their own effectiveness and focus.

In short, pointedly-written chapters, Stoesz covers: Helping directors understand their governance role; A plan to fulfill the purpose; Reporting back to the members; Planning effective meetings; Great boards have a good fight (occasionally); Working your way through a crisis; Great boards celebrate; and Leaving right.

Stoesz deftly interweaves background philosophy, vision and razor-sharp specific ideas. "Discussion/Action Questions" conclude many of the chapters. In addition, Stoesz offers a "Board Evaluation Form," a "Director's Self-Evaluation Form," and an Outline for the "Executive Director Annual Review."
