| Care to provide a citation on anything you're making claims to? Examples include that charity CEOs aren't required to have the same skills as private CEOs, companies failing at larger rates, companies having smaller margins, etc. You're making easily falsifiable claims without backing up your assertions. Just based on the fact that it's pretty easy to start a business compared to a charity I'd say the average soil requirement for a functioning charity is as high if not higher than a private entity since you can sell your services to make more money, you typically don't have the income incentive to a large portion of the population, you have an unstable workforce of non-paid resources, and unlike an established business you're in constant fundraising mode. I'd say it's more akin to operating mode of an established company with the income model of a startup. On top of this you need someone willing to spend either time or money to hire a professional to navigate the legal system. It's not a easy as just trying to be good. Our church for example can't be used as a warming center in the winter due to liveability requirements, we had to work with our local city government who has a full time paid grant writer to get funding to cover just the building resources and we volunteer the staffing for the center. Then there's logistics. Any professional organization needs to know what it has and in what quantity to be able to effectively distribute those resources. That requires software, logistics expertise, and sometimes physical hardware. All of these are professional roles in a company of any real size. I think you may be understating the difficulty of the task compared to private enterprise. This is why I'm asking for references, I did a cursory look and didn't find anything directly for what you stated, perhaps you're aware of some information resources I'm not? |
