“Butzen’s individual case studies and moving profiles of six mission-centered leaders is a great resource for nonprofit leaders who may think that letting go represents failure, rather than the gift it can be to preserving an institution’s mission over time. A merger can be an invaluable strategy to sustain mission and grow community impact, and in the nonprofit world outgoing leaders rarely receive golden parachutes. But the true leaders who seize strategic merger opportunities to advance organizational mission can ‘let go’ with their heads held high, as this inspiring book documents beautifully.” —Nadya K.
