glossary of key theories, concepts, and terms with a relation-centered focus

Available May 2024

Volunteer and staff leaders are more effective when they are familiar with key theories, concepts, and terms associated with their MBOs’ governance and management. Establishing a common nomenclature – language – helps reduce assumptions, confusion, and conflict.

This dictionary offers definitions with a relation-centered focus for the kinds of key theories, concepts, and terms that have been generated as a result of applied research initiatives by the Melos Institute. Annually updated (January).
