Response to NP1- Post Leader
It was a pleasure to read the blog, and I enjoy the simplicity of the writing style which made the message easy to understand for everyone. I would like to build on the argument related to the focus of NPO which according to the post aimed to do good works but failed to offer accountability in areas such as finances and people development. Besides, many organizations fail to understand that it takes the commitment to people served (NPO’s focus), the fulfillment of the needs of people doing the works (servant leadership) to make an organization successful (transformational leadership).
Ungerer, G. Ungerer & Herholdt (2016) give a living example of this strategy. A Starbucks employee demonstrated an act of compassion towards a client. Her action moved the senior executive member of the corporation who flew to meet her and acknowledge the way she embodied the values of the organization. Through the example, the community received service, and the employee received positive emotional reinforcement which is a growth factor and the organization reputation enhanced.
Non-Profit Organization often “muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain” (1 Tim 5:18. ESV ); they failed to recognize that wages alone do not bring job satisfaction nor service to the community equate employees’ retention. Thankfully with the emergence of servant leadership as theory hope remains.

In practice Emmanuel, you should cite Ungerer below your post. We know everyone has access to the book and the mention directs them there, but out of practice cite all works mentioned in your posts so you do not miss one inadvertently in the process of posting.
It all helps us learn together.
Thanks Emmanuel

Thank you Doug. I will add the citation.
Hi Doug,
regarding the Health Care response I did on the non profit blog. I have removed it from my site but I noticed it continues to show on the 501 page. Could you solve the issue on your end?
– Thank you
