Management, Operation, and Program Development in Human Services Organizations: EnvisionSMART: A Melmark Model of Administration and Operation concentrates on leadership within HSOs. The book details how to establish a structure for a board of directors, including committee standing, composition of members, orientation and training, board engagement and board reporting. Guidelines for how to design a senior leadership structure are also discussed, including examples of organizational charts, position descriptions, performance management approaches, and strategic and succession planning.
