Business Management and Condemnation of Some Non Profits
Many business management professionals agree that for profit businesses and capitalism is more efficient and will get the job done faster and better than a non-profit organization. In hind sight of many a task folks have noted that if a business were to have been put in charge then this would never have happened.
Indeed my good friend was the American Cancer Society, Head for Los Angeles (10-years until she resigned) only second to donations, gifts and collections to NYC American Cancer Society. After she took early retirement, for the exact same reasoning as stated, it is so interesting listen to the inefficiencies of over all donations and big events to the amount of money actually realized. Most would agree that there are numerous examples of this.
In fact both Bill and Melinda discussed this at the news conference with Warren Buffet, when they said; "giving money away correctly and efficiently is the hardest part" and I too agree. Also giving without weakening the recipient is also ultra important. This is why although non-religious, I would say that one comment of Christians seems apropos; "Teach a Man to Fish, do not give out fishes" and thus teaching people to fish should be the goal; empowerment if you will. Otherwise in affect what you are doing is passing on the inefficiencies to the receiver. Consider all this in 2006.
