There is a need for current, research-based content focused on helping leaders of nonprofit and faith-based organizations to be successful. When compared to the market for new books and publications which discuss success strategies that apply to for-profit organizations, this market is underserved. This book focuses on topics and skills that leaders of non-profit and faith-based organizations, in recent research conducted by the authors, have indicated are needed to achieve success as defined by their organization. Each chapter is written by an expert on the subject dealt with in the chapter and focuses on the core concepts, skills, and techniques that, if mastered, can produce significant positive results. Sixteen topics critical to managers of non-profit or faith-based organizations are covered in the book and grouped into four sections: living the mission, making good decisions, getting things done, and developing the team. This book will be especially valuable to leaders of non-profit and faith-based organizations who have little spare time and want to focus their professional development on areas defined by their peers as critical for success.

Archaeology, as a scientific endeavor implies the generation of knowledge, more specifically knowledge obtained through the observation of human material culture in a historical (or pre-historical) context. To that end, archaeologists follow a strict methodology in which they elaborate a research proposal where the specialist explains not only his research hypothesis in a coherent theoretical background but also how he plans to execute said research along with the manner in which he plans to process all the data and observation obtained during said research. While conventional research plans are highly detailed, they are often focused on the posited end of what the research is expected to yield. While theoretical and abstract works are real challenges by themselves, the logistical aspect of any research program can be a daunting task to the inexperienced archaeologist. Many mistakes are made due to work overload and organizational problems that could very easily been have avoided with a careful planning and structure. This book will address that problem by focusing on the administrative and bureaucratic tasks involved in conducting archaeological research. Usually ignored or regarded as a non-archaeological task, project management is intrinsic to archaeology´s every day work, hence the need to develop tools that may help optimize the effort of this science.

 It follows the project life cycle and provides several ready-to-use templates.

Alongside each template is a brief description of what each template is and why it is useful, with an example to illustrate it.
