For professionals in nongovernmental organizations and students, Ghere examines nongovernmental organizations involved in human rights advocacy and how their leadership responsibilities need to integrate a rights orientation. In the introduction, he defines nongovernmental organizations and discusses how human rights affect their missions, the meaning of leadership in them in comparison to private sector and government agency leadership, and career development issues in the field. Subsequent chapters address the rhetoric and terminology related to issues of development, humanitarianism, and human rights, and concerns related to nongovernmental organization management environments and human-rights focused leadership: transformative change, organization and management, performance and accountability, organization learning and knowledge management, gender, and human resources management.
