Abstract
This chapter pulls together the messages of the book. In particular, we pull out four key lessons that seem to apply to all or most of the mission-driven organizations covered in the book: the need to optimize resources to as far as possible meet the often conflicting expectations of stakeholders; the need to find creative ways to attract and keep and motivate talent; the need to retain talent through the identification of, and as far as possible, the meeting of, their needs; and the need to cut ‘red tape’ and address the requirements of change. We discuss the implications of the work here for future research and for managerial action.
