Abstract
Understanding the varied approaches to leadership remains an ongoing challenge, especially as it relates to different sorts of organizations. Of particular interest are the specific considerations to which leaders pay attention. The managment letter, contained in the annual reports of both for-profit and nonprofit organizations, reveal the nature of many of these considerations. This paper examines the management letters contained in the annual reports of for-profit and nonprofit organizations in order to discern the major differences and similarities between the approaches for for-profit and nonprofit leaders. Through this research a number of themes emerge that lead to general conclusions regarding the leadership of for-profit and nonprofit organizations.
