Conclusion: Rights-Based Leadership in NGOs. Richard Ghere provides a comprehensive survey of NGO involvement in a human rights based approach to leadership, organization, management, and performance. Ghere points to how any NGO, regardless of its specific mission, can provide outlets for human rights activism. He also discusses the ways that NGOs have become increasingly concerned with human rights. Calling for leaders of human rights and development NGOs to "get on the same page" in terms of both theory and practice, he provides context, definition, and guidance for those working in development and advocacy organizations, as well as those considering a career in the NGO world.
