ABSTRACT
The first priority for the non-profit executive's own development is to strive for excellence. That brings satisfaction and self-respect. Workmanship counts, not just because it makes such a difference in the quality of the job done but because it makes such a difference in the person doing the job. Without craftsmanship, there is neither a good job, nor self-respect, nor personal growth. Many years ago I asked the best dentist I ever had, ‘What do you want to be remembered for?’ And he answered, ‘When they have you on the autopsy slab, I want them to say that fellow really had a first-rate dentist!’
