Core Areas of Knowledge and Skills Required by Chief Executive Officers
The chief executive officer is the overall, primary management and leadership role in the organization. Therefore, it's critical that chief executive officers have strong knowledge and skills in a wide variety of areas. However, there are certain basic areas of knowledge and skills which provide the foundation from which chief executive officers can add knowledge and skills customized to the particular nature of their organization, its industry (service, manufacturing, wholesale, etc.) and the current environment (political, social, economic and technological).

http://www.mapnp.org/library/fndrsng/np_raise/np_raise.htm This topic in the Library will help nonprofit leaders to ensure a strong fundraising plan and program for their nonprofits. The topic also will help nonprofit service providers (management support organizations, such as funders, consultants, associations, etc.) to consider various types of fundraising services for nonprofits in their areas.
